    Research Overview

  • Dr. Azziz’s biomedical research focuses on the study of reproductive endocrinology and androgen excess disorders, including hirsutism, PCOS, and non-classic adrenal hyperplasia. He has published over 500 original peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and reviews. He previously served as Deputy Director of the Clinical & Translational Sciences Institute and Assistant Dean for Clinical and Translational Sciences at UCLA; and Director of the Center for Androgen-Related Disorders at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles. He is the founder and served as Executive Director, then Senior Executive Director, of the Androgen Excess & PCOS Society. Among other advisory capacities, he served on multiple NIH committees, chaired the US FDA Advisory Board on Reproductive Health Drugs, and served on the oversight committee for the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine.
