• Comment: He passes the notability criteria for academics, but it needs substantial cleanup first. Please do this then resubmit. Some, but probably not all:
    *Independent sources for his positions
    *Use infobox scientist
    *Trim the awards, and reformat to a list. For instance I don't view an advisory board as notable, whereas the NAS prize is. Ldm1954 (talk) 23:30, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

Yoel Sadovsky is a physician-scientist who studies the molecular processes underlying placental development and function, and response to injuries that impact early human development. These injuries lead to obstetrical diseases, such as fetal growth restriction, preeclampsia, and preterm birth, which predispose to neonatal, childhood, and adult diseases.

Education edit

Dr. Sadovsky received his MD from the Hebrew University-Hadassah Medical School in 1986 and completed his Residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri (1986-1990). He subsequently moved to the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, where he completed a Fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine and post-doctoral research training.[1]

Career edit

From 1993 to 2007, Dr. Sadovsky was a faculty member at Washington University in St. Louis, where he was professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Cell Biology and Physiology, and served as Director of the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound.[2] In 2007 he was recruited to Pittsburgh, where he serves as the Executive and Scientific Director of Magee-Womens Research Institute at the University of Pittsburgh.[3] He is also the Elsie Hilliard Hillman Chair of Women's Health Research, Distinguished Professor of OBGYN[4] with a joint appointment as Professor of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Vice Chair of the Dept. of OBGYN, and Associate Dean of Women’s Health Research and Reproductive Sciences.[1]

In addition to his research, Dr. Sadovsky is engaged in training programs at the University of Pittsburgh, and in 2012, he became the director of the NIH-K12 “Building Interdisciplinary Research Careers in Women’s Health (BIRCWH) Program”, a grant-funded research faculty training program at the University of Pittsburgh.[5] Dr. Sadovsky is an advocate for science and training in reproductive biology and women’s health research.[5][6][7][8][9]

Research edit

Building on his clinical expertise in maternal-fetal medicine, Dr. Sadovsky’s NIH-funded[10] research integrates molecular and cellular biology, along with informatics tools, to decipher the differentiation of placental trophoblasts and their adaption to cellular injury. A primary focus is the function of trophoblastic non-coding RNAs, where diverse technologies are used to define the function and regulation of trophoblastic microRNA in response to injuries. MicroRNAs are also packaged in extracellular vesicles (EVs), and his lab interrogates the mechanisms of release, uptake, and function of placental EVs at the maternal-fetal interface. Another focus in the lab has been fat trafficking in the placenta, including the dynamics of lipid droplets and trophoblastic mobilization of fatty acids, as well as the function of oxidized phospholipids and trophoblast ferroptotic injury. Dr. Sadovsky’s research has contributed to over 225 published articles.[11][12]
