[Formula: see text] Dr. Tayade earned a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Masters, and PhD in Immunology from the Indian Veterinary Research Institute. He then completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Guelph. He joined Queen's University in 2009 as an Assistant Professor and is currently working as a Vice Dean, and the Director of MD PhD Program in the Faculty of Health Sciences. The central theme of Dr. Tayade's research focusses on how immune dysfunction contributes to endometriosis pathophysiology, and identifying immune-based markers for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Dr. Tayade has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles in journals such as JCI Insight, Journal of Immunology, American Journal of Pathology, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Trends in Molecular Medicine. He has received competitive funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Endometriosis Foundation of America; and industrial funding from Bayer, Aurinia Pharmaceutical, and AbbVie. For his outstanding contributions to research, Dr. Tayade has received numerous special recognitions. In 2012, he won both the Early Researcher Award from the Ministry of Research and Innovation, as well as the Christian J Herr Award for Outstanding Contributions in Reproductive Immunology from the American Society for Reproductive Immunology. In 2014, he earned the Mihran and Mary Basmajian Award for Research Excellence from the Queen's Faculty of Health Sciences.
