Research in the Field: Endometriosis

Semir Beyaz, PhD, originally focused his research on why cells behave they do – and what makes them act in a way that harms the whole body. He studied cancerous cells while earning his degree, but after forming his own lab, he wanted to focus on understudied conditions where cells behaved similarly.

He therefore began to study endometriosis, a condition many patients struggle to have diagnosed. Learn more about his research and the research being done in the field here: Academic researchers see a boost in interest – and innovation – around endometriosis.
