An Interview with PCOS Expert Dr. Richard Legro

I recently had the pleasure to chat with one of the leading PCOS Researchers and experts, Dr. Richard Legro.  Dr Legro is a Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Penn State University College of Medicine in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

His research and clinical practice are focused on PCOS diagnosis, treatment and genetic/environmental causes.  He established one of the first clinics devoted to the treatment of women with PCOS at the M.S. Hershey Medical Center.

Dr. Legro is currently an investigator in an ongoing Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) in PCOS and is the lead investigaor of the multicentre U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH)- sponsored trials, Pregnancy in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome I and II.  He is the head of the steering committee on several multicenter infertility trials currently underway in China, including PCOSAct, a trial of clomiphene and acupuncture in women with PCOS.

I have recorded my 30 minute interview with Dr. Legro and you can listen to it in it’s entirety.  We discuss his current studies
