Dr. Stephen Kennedy has a long career in the field of Reproductive Medicine. In this field, he directs the Oxford Institute of Maternal and Perinatal Health. He has also served as Director of the Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health. His research focuses on all aspects of women's health, including maternal and fetal health, the study of cancer, and reproductive and genetic medicine. In particular, he has been internationally recognized as a leader in the study and treatment of Endometriosis, a gynecological disorder that is estimated to affect nearly 200 million women worldwide.

Throughout his extensive experience he has participated in the design and validation of the Oxford Endometriosis Health Profile tool. This disease-specific assessment was the first to be based on Patient-Reported Outcomes. It therefore uses self-identified data to measure the wide range of consequences that the pathology can produce in women's lives, from physical pain to emotional distress. This tool is used in numerous clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of medical and surgical treatments.

In addition, he co-leads the INTERGROWTH-21st project, a large-scale multidisciplinary initiative involving health institutions from more than 10 geographically diverse countries. Its goal is to assess fetal and newborn growth under optimal and suboptimal conditions, such as exposure to malaria, HIV and malnutrition.

Dr. Stephen Kennedy has published an extensive list of scientific papers focusing on Reproductive Medicine. In addition, he has served as an Advisor to the World Foundation for Endometriosis Research and has acted as a consultant to several pharmaceutical companies.
