Linda Giudice

Linda C. Giudice is an American gynecologist and obstetrician whose research has focused on the genetics of infertility, endometriosis, and the mechanisms of the menstrual cycle, along with the impacts of environmental pollutants on women's fertility. A New Yorker, she had an accelerated education with a heavy emphasis on the sciences, moving through multiple disciplines of engineering for her undergraduate and graduate degrees. Her postdoctoral fellowships introduced her to translational medicine and the genetics of women's health, resulting in her returning to her studies to obtain a medical degree.

Afterwards, she has spent her professorship for multiple decades at Stanford University and then the University of California, San Francisco, becoming tenured chair of several obstetrics and gynecology departments. A member of many professional academic organizations, she has also been and remains president or board member for a collection of reproductive health groups and non-profits. She has been given a number of awards and honorary professorships for her work and public outreach, nationally and internationally. Provided by Wikipedia
