Dr. Matteo A. Molè, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Stanford University. He is a member of the Division of Reproductive, Stem Cell and Perinatal Biology, as well as the Dunlevie Maternal-Fetal Medicine Center for Discovery, Innovation and Clinical Impact.

Dr. Molè earned his PhD from University College London (UCL) and pursued postdoctoral research fellowships at the University of Cambridge and the Babraham Institute, where he established a license under the UK Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) to conduct research on human embryos donated by patients undergoing IVF.

In the summer of 2023, Dr. Molè joined Stanford University as an Assistant Professor. His work focuses on investigating the mechanisms of human embryo implantation.

The research focus of Dr. Molè's laboratory is centered on investigating the complex process of human embryo implantation. Due to the limited availability of suitable model systems and inability to directly observe this process in vivo, this has been traditionally referred to as the enigmatic stage of human embryonic development.
