Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a significant clinical problem. In this issue Dr. Christos Coutifaris serves as a guest editor. He has gathered a group of talented clinical investigators to develop a current update on this disorder.
Dr. Coutifaris received an A.B. degree from Amherst College and entered a combined M.D., Ph.D. program at the University of Pennsylvania. Since this, he has remained at the University of Pennsylvania, where he successfully completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology and a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. He joined the faculty in 1987 as an assistant professor and currently is an associate professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. He is Director of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, where he also heads the fellowship training program.
Dr. Coutifaris has received a number of awards, serves as an examiner for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG), and is a member of the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Board of the ABOG. He has served on numerous National Institutes of Health study sections and has lectured both nationally and internationally.
He has been active in research that is focused on the molecular biology of human trophoblasts, and he lists over 40 peer-reviewed publications.
In summary, I believe this issue of Seminars in Reproductive Medicine on PCOS is extremely timely and will benefit all those involved in treating women with this disorder.
