معرفی
Harvey J. Kliman is a Research Scientist in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale University School of Medicine and serves as Director of the Reproductive and Placental Research Unit. With over thirty years of experience in anatomic pathology, he specializes in electron microscopy, immunohistochemistry, endometrial and placental pathology.
His educational background includes:
- MD from University of Chicago (1981)
- PhD in cellular biochemistry from University of Chicago (1980)
- Residency at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (1985)
- Fellowship at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (1987)
Dr. Kliman's research spans five key areas: Menstrual Cycle Regulation and Embryo Implantation Research, Structural Defects in the Placenta Suggesting Genetic Defects in the Fetus, Pathway of Serotonin in Trophoblasts, Novel Methods for Determining Placental Volume, and the Role of Serotonin in Cancer Proliferation. His work has led to significant innovations including the Endometrial Function Test® (EFT®) and methods for placental volume assessment, both patented technologies that have advanced reproductive medicine.
Analysis of his recent publications (2020-2024) reveals a consistent focus on placental pathology as a window into fetal development and health outcomes. His research demonstrates how placental abnormalities, particularly trophoblast inclusions, correlate with neurodevelopmental disorders like autism, establishing the placenta as a potential diagnostic tool for early identification of at-risk pregnancies.
Dr. Kliman is board certified in Pathology (Anatomic/Clinical) by the American Board of Pathology, certified in 1986.
As Director of the Reproductive and Placental Research Unit, Dr. Kliman leads investigations into fundamental placental mechanisms with direct clinical applications for infertility and pregnancy complications. His approach bridges molecular biology with practical clinical solutions, translating basic science discoveries into tools that improve patient care and outcomes.
