Emre Seli

Dr. Emre Seli is Professor and Chief of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Yale School of Medicine, and serves as Medical Director of Yale Fertility Center, Director of Yale IVF Program, and Director of Yale Egg Donation and Gestational Surrogacy Program. He is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, with clinical practice in New Haven and Westport offices.

Dr. Seli's research focuses on determinants of oocyte and embryo health and mechanisms of ovarian aging. His laboratory characterized the mechanisms regulating translational activation of gene expression in the oocyte and made seminal contributions to understanding oocyte and embryo competence in IVF. He has published more than 150 scientific articles, co-authored the 9th edition of 'Speroff's Clinical Gynecologic Endocrinology and Infertility,' and edited four additional books in the field.

Analysis of Dr. Seli's recent publications (2024-2025) reveals a strong focus on improving IVF outcomes through advanced prognostic modeling, endometrial receptivity assessment, and biomarker validation. His work spans both clinical research examining large patient datasets and basic science investigations into reproductive biology mechanisms.
