معرفی
Hugh Taylor is the Anita O'Keeffe Young Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine, and Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale-New Haven Hospital. He is also Professor of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at Yale University. His work spans clinical care, research, and academic leadership in reproductive medicine.
Education:
- BA, Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry, Yale University (1983)
- MD, University of Connecticut (1988)
- Residency, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Yale-New Haven Hospital (1992)
- Fellowship, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Yale (1996)
- Fellowship, Molecular Biology, Yale (1998)
Research Interests: Dr. Taylor’s research is centered on endometriosis, uterine fibroids, stem cells, and developmental biology. He investigates the role of HOX genes in uterine development and endometrial receptivity, and explores epigenetic and stem cell mechanisms in reproductive diseases. His lab has pioneered the use of bone marrow-derived stem cells in regenerating the endometrium, with applications in Asherman’s syndrome and regenerative medicine. His work integrates molecular biology, animal models, and clinical trials to advance understanding and treatment of infertility and gynecologic disorders.
Publication Trends: His recent publications reflect a strong focus on hormonal therapies for fibroids and endometriosis (e.g., linzagolix, quinagolide), molecular mechanisms of endometriosis (including microRNAs and lncRNAs), stem cell biology, and translational applications. His research increasingly incorporates genetic and epigenetic analyses, interorgan signaling, and personalized medicine approaches.
Scientific Awards:
- Elected Member, Association of American Physicians (2024)
- Distinguished Scientist Award, Society for Gynecologic Investigation (2020)
- Member, National Academy of Medicine (2016)
- Best Research in Reproductive Medicine, IVI Foundation (2013)
- Honoree of the Year, Endometriosis Association (2012)
Advising and Grants: Dr. Taylor has been continuously funded by the National Institutes of Health for over 20 years, directing the Yale Center for Reproductive Biology. He has published over 400 articles and is actively involved in mentoring trainees and leading clinical trials. Though specific students are not listed, his leadership in the Yale Combined Program in the Biological and Biomedical Sciences (BBS) and the Reproductive Sciences training program indicates a strong commitment to education and mentorship.
Labs and Teams: He leads the Taylor Lab at Yale, which focuses on reproductive biology, stem cells, and epigenetics. He is affiliated with the Yale Stem Cell Center, the Yale Center for Genomic Health, and multiple clinical programs including the Fertility Center, Endometriosis Program, and Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Program. He collaborates widely, with frequent co-authors in endocrinology, molecular biology, and epidemiology.
