Dr. Paolo Rinaudo is a specialist in reproductive endocrinology and fertility at the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health. In addition to caring for patients with fertility and endocrinological problems, Rinaudo conducts research on pre-implantation embryo development and the long-term consequences of in vitro culture. He is the recipient of numerous prestigious honors and awards, including the ASRM/Serono grant in reproductive biology and the President Presenter Award at the 50th annual meeting of the Society for Gynecological Investigation, Washington, DC. He is a member of professional societies, such as the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Society for Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility.

Rinaudo earned a medical degree at Torino Medical School and a doctorate at Torino University in Torino, Italy. He completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Yale University, followed by a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. He is an Associate Professor in residence in the department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences at UCSF.
