Dolores Lamb, MD
Dr. Lamb's research is in the areas of basic and translational science of male reproductive biology and urology. Dolores J. LAMB, Ph.D. just moved to Mercy Children’s Research Institute in Kansas City, MO. Where she is Director of Developmental Biology and Co-Director of the Research Learning Center. She is Professor of Surgery at the University of Missouri-Kansas Ciety School of Medicine. Previously Dr. Lamb was the Associate Dean of Faculty Affairs, Robert S. DowProfessor of Urology, Vice-Chair for Research, Director of the Center for Reproductive Genomics & the Englander Institute for Precision Medicine and Professor in the Departments of Urology and Molecular and Cellular Biology at Weill Cornell Medical College. She is an investigator in the fields of urology, male and female reproduction, infertility, steroid hormone action, male contraception and growth regulatory mechanisms. Her experience is unique, as she has extensive background in both male and female human reproduction and the clinical diagnostic and basic science arenas in urology, human male infertility and congenital urological birth defects. Dr. Lamb was honored as the first recipient of the Distinguished Researcher Award by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in recognition of her lifelong achievements in reproductive research, the Ramon Gutierras Lecturer at the American Urological Association’s annual meeting, and received The Distinguished Andrologist Award from the American Society of Andrology. She is Past- President of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (and the first PhD president). She is past- President of the Society for Male Reproduction and Urology of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and served on the ASRM executive Board. She is past- President of the Society for the Study of Male Reproduction of the American Urological Association, Society for Basic Urologic Research, the American Association of Bioanalysts and and Past President of the American Society of Andrology. She currently chairs the American Board of Bioanalysts which certifies High Complexity laboratory directors (under deemed status according to CLIA) working in clinical diagnostic laboratories (including many areas of specialization, including Andrology and/or Embryology). She is also a certified Clinical Chemist (National Registry of Certified Chemists). She trained 92 M.D., Ph.D., & MD/PhD fellows (11 are now department chairmen), 14 residents, 11 graduate/MD, Ph.D. students, many residents, high school and more than 54 undergraduate students. In 2007 she received awards for mentoring from the American Urological Association Foundation Distinguished Mentor, the 2019 Endocrine Society Laurate Outstanding Mentor Award, The Christina Manthos Mentoring Award from the Society of Women in Urology, the Faculty Educator Award for Extraordinary Contributions and Mentorship in the Urologic Basic Sciences(Baylor College of Medicine), Cornell-China Circle Lifetime Mentorship Award and Kavoussi Family Outstanding Teacher Award from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
Dr. Lamb supports research experience for trainees at every level of their career (graduate andmedical students, post-doctoral MD or PhD fellows). Opportunities exist for training in the laboratory in the areas of etiologies of genitourinary birth defects using state-of-the-art clinical diagnostics, as well as research using a forward genetics approaches to define the genomic and/or genetic bases of men’s reproductive health defects including human male infertility, interdisciplinary research on the etiologies of urologic/reproductive deficiencies in children and men’s health (bioinformatics, biomedical engineering, nanotechnologies, clinical urology, structural birth defects, pathology, endocrinology, psychology and sexual medicine and genetics and genomics).
