Gregory Burns, Ph.D. is a reproductive biologist at Michigan State University with expertise in transcriptomics, endometriosis, and uterine biology. Since earning his Ph.D. in Animal Sciences from the University of Missouri, his research has focused on the molecular mechanisms that drive endometriosis, with particular emphasis on epithelium–macrophage interactions in lesion development. His work leverages spatial and single-cell transcriptomic approaches to uncover pathways involved in epithelial–immune crosstalk and lesion progression, with the broader goal of identifying novel therapeutic targets and improving outcomes for those affected by endometriosis.
He was selected as a World Endometriosis Society Early Career Ambassador in 2025.
