Summary

Dr. Paulson is Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Chief of the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. His major interest is reproductive aging with a particular emphasis on human embryo implantation. Dr. Paulson has been the director of the Fertility Program at USC since 1986. During this time, the program has published several landmark investigations addressing the effect of age upon female fertility, including the first observation that it was the egg, and not the uterus, that aged and that egg donation could therefore be used to extend the reproductive lifespan in women over 40 (New England Journal of Medicine, 1990). Research on fertility in women over the age of 50 resulted in publications of the 1st series of women over 50 (Lancet, 1993), a successful pregnancy in a woman aged 63 (Fertility & Sterility, 1997), obstetric outcomes in women in their 50s (JAMA, 2002) and parenting stress in mothers in their 50s (Fertility & Sterility 2007). Most recently, the program established an egg freezing program designed to further extend a womans reproductive lifespan. Dr. Paulson has been the recipient of numerous research awards and has been listed in "The Best Doctors in America" continuously since 1994. Dr. Paulson is a co-editor of Mishells Textbook of Infertility, Contraception, and Reproductive Endocrinology and has co-authored a lay book titled "Rewinding Your Biological Clock: Motherhood Late in Life" (WH Freeman, 1998). He was most recently the technical reviewer for "Infertility for Dummies" (Wiley, 2007).
