03  Profile

Who Hugh Taylor, MD is

Hugh S. Taylor, MD, is Anita O'Keeffe Young Professor and Chair of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at Yale School of Medicine.

He is also Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yale New Haven Hospital and Professor of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. He is a board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist and reproductive endocrinologist, and he directs the Yale Center for Reproductive Biology. He trained at Yale College, the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital, and has chaired his department since 2012.

His clinical research centres on endometriosis and fibroids. His team has reported blood microRNA signatures as non-invasive biomarkers for detecting endometriosis in adults, adolescents and young adults. He argues that endometriosis is a systemic disease whose microRNAs act on organs beyond the pelvis, and that earlier diagnosis is needed.

He is based in the US. The sources found do not show which UK press coverage quoted him.
