Serdar E Bulun

Serdar E Bulun is the Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, where he also holds the John J. Sciarra Professorship in Obstetrics and Gynecology. His research focuses on reproductive endocrinology, particularly the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying uterine fibroids, endometrial cancer, and infertility.

Key research areas include:

• Investigating the role of environmental chemicals like phthalates in promoting uterine fibroid growth.
• Elucidating genetic and epigenetic pathways driving uterine diseases.
• Developing novel non-surgical therapies for conditions such as hernias linked to hormonal changes.
• Transforming induced pluripotent stem cells into endometrial cells for studying reproductive disorders.

He collaborates with institutions like the Center for Genetic Medicine and the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center.
