Prof David Baud, MD PhD, is an obstetrician, specialist in feto-maternal medicine and is presently head of the obstetric service at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), Switzerland. He is board certified in Obstetrics & Gynecology and operative Gynecology. After his PhD, which focused on the Human Papilloma Virus vaccine, he trained as a postdoc in the institute of Microbiology (CHUV), where he became familiar with chlamydial biology. He then trained at various hospitals worldwide including St-Mary’s Hospital in London, UK (2004-2005), Tu Du Hospital in Saigon/Vietnam (2007, 60,000 deliveries/year), Hopital Necker in Paris (2009-2010), and Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto (2010-2012); with which he continues active research and clinical collaborations. Thanks to a grant from the "Fondation Leenaards", David Baud started his own research lab in 2013 before obtaining other peer-reviewed grants and supports including from the Swiss National Science Foundation. His current research focuses on emerging infectious causes of infertility and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Thanks to his clinical expertise in fetal medicine, research expertise in emerging infectious disease and collaborations worldwide, he has also developed a specific interest in emerging viruses (such as Monkeypox, SARS-CoV-2 and Zika), with recent publications in the NEJM, The Lancet, The Lancet Infectious Disease, JAMA and BMJ. Baud’s research groups are both involved in clinical and laboratory research.
