Research Focus

My research is aimed at identifying environmental exposures that impact human health, particularly fertility and children’s health.

Current Projects

■ LIFE Study – understanding how endocrine disrupting chemicals affect couples’ ability to become pregnant and carry a pregnancy to delivery

■ ENDO Study – understanding endocrine disrupting chemicals and gynecologic diseases, particularly endometriosis

■ Exposome – understanding the totality of environmental exposures and health across the lifespan: how gynecologic and urologic diseases impact adult health.
