Current Research Projects<\/span><\/h1>\n

Ovulation and Menstruation Health Study<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

The OM Study is an online survey for understanding factors that promote ovulation and menstruation health across the lifespan and factors that increase risk of ovulation disorders, such as polycystic ovary syndrome.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are interested in taking the study, please visit the study website here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Hair Product Use and Risk of Preterm Birth<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This study will establish a cohort with the goal of evaluating the association between exposure to hair products, based on the frequency of use, and preterm birth, and gestational age at birth. We also seek to evaluate the disparities between race\/ethnicities in hair product use and birth outcomes. This study is funded by March of Dimes.<\/p>\n

Ovulation and Menstruation Health: PCOS Cohort Pilot Study<\/h2>\n

The goal of our PCOS Cohort pilot study is to ultimately establish a prospective ovulation and menstruation health\u00a0cohort<\/span>.<\/span> Findings from this cohort will provide key results to determine windows of greatest risk for mother and child and strategically devise risk-reducing interventions to improve health outcomes across the lifespan. This research is supported by the RSDP seed grant award<\/span>, and the CTSA grant\u00a0<\/span>U54TR001012 via the Clinical Research Resources Office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Environmental Determinants of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome<\/h2>\n

This project has two aims: 1) To determine the relationship between adult ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure and diagnosis of ovulatory dysfunction and PCOS phenotypes using data from the Nurses\u2019 Health Study II (NHSII) and 2) To determine the relationship between prenatal and early childhood exposure to tetrachloroethylene (PCE) and PCOS using data from the Cape Cod Health Study Cohort (CCHS). This study is funded by the Reproductive Scientist Development Program (RSDP) Grant K12 HD000849.<\/p>\n

Effects of Air Pollution on Reproductive Tract Diseases<\/h2>\n

The aim of this project is to investigate the relationship between increased exposure to air pollution characterized as particulate matter, the gynecological diseases of endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and infertility. This study is funded by the Building Interdisciplinary Careers in Women\u2019s Health (BIRCWH) Grant K12 HD043444.<\/p>\n
