Michael Kamrava earned a Bachelor of Science in physiology with high honors from University of Illinois, USA and graduated from Case Western Reserve Medical School in 1976 with honors in endocrinology. Following a residency in OB/GYN, I finished a fellowship in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility at Beth Israel Hospital, Harvard Medical School, USA. I served as clinical instructor in OB/GYN at UCLA. I was a principal investigator on the use of subcutaneous pulsatile GnRH in ovulation induction. I have been on the editorial staff of several scientific journals and have published numerous articles and book chapters and have been the editor of a book entiltled “Ectopic Pregnancy”. I have been an invited speaker at several national and international talks and conferences and have participated in conducting endoscopic workshops. I have been awarded the “Golden Telescope” for introducing the SEED technique for embryo implantation with visually directed endoscopic control of embryo implantation and subsequently have innovated the HEED embryo transfer for the early stage embryo transfers. In private practice of nearly 30 years, I have helped thousands of patients in their struggle with infertility to achieve their dreams of parenthood come true.

Our studies are focused on the mechanism of formation and physiological consequences of the cytopathology of Alzheimer disease. We have shown that oxidative damage is the initial cytopathology in Alzheimer disease. We are working to determine the sequence of events leading to neuronal oxidative damage and the source of the increased oxygen radicals. Our current studies focus on (i) the mechanism for RNA-based redox metal binding; (ii) the consequences of RNA oxidation on protein synthesis rate and fidelity; (iii) the role of redox active metals in mediating prooxidant and antioxidant properties; (iv) the signal transduction pathways altered in Alzheimer disease that allow neurons to evade apoptosis; and (v) mechanism of phosphorylation control of oxidative damage to neurofilament proteins
