Dr. Zamah's clinical focus is on the treatment of infertile patients as well as recurrent pregnancy loss patients and fertility preservation patients. Infertility treatments include IUI and IVF, performance of ultrasound and saline sonography and hysterosalpingograms, and surgical treatments such as hysteroscopy and laparoscopy to address specific reproductive disorders. Additional conditions managed include polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis and primary ovarian insufficiency. Dr. Zamah is the Section Chief, Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility.
Dr. Zamah's research interests center on examining intrafollicular peptide signaling between the somatic cells and germ cell in the adult mammalian ovary, and how these signals affect developmental competence of the oocyte and granulosa cell function. Dr. Zamah is also clinically interested in understanding the role of ovarian reserve markers and reproductive outcomes as indicators of oocyte health.
