Overview
Liubin Yang, MD, PhD, a subspecialist in reproductive endocrinology and infertility, is dedicated to helping individuals and couples build their families. She is double board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and in reproductive endocrinology and infertility by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
As an instructor in obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences at Yale School of Medicine, Dr. Yang's research focuses on gene therapy for primary ovarian insufficiency (a condition where the ovaries stop functioning normally before age 40), ovarian aging, and genetic determinants of primary ovarian insufficiency/diminished ovarian reserve. Her research incorporates advanced techniques such as machine learning to improve outcomes in reproductive medicine. Through this research, Dr. Yang aims to enhance the understanding and treatment of infertility, providing hope and options for those seeking to grow their families.
Dr. Yang completed her medical degree, doctoral degree in molecular and human genetics, residency in obstetrics and gynecology, and fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at Baylor College of Medicine.
