This research identifies UCH-L1 as a promising blood biomarker directly linked to human eggs, offering a new way to measure ovarian reserve. A simple blood test could improve fertility assessment, detect premature ovarian aging earlier, and provide valuable insights into broader aspects of women's health, including cardiovascular health, cognitive aging, and longevity.

This research examines how changing reproductive laws affect access to IVF following the Alabama embryo personhood ruling. Using interviews, observation, and policy analysis, it reveals how legal uncertainty threatens fertility treatment, reproductive autonomy, and healthcare access, while informing policies that better protect reproductive rights and family-building opportunities.

This research investigates the genetic mechanisms underlying polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition affecting one in ten women and the leading cause of female infertility. By studying thousands of genetic variants across multiple cell types, the project aims to identify the biological causes of PCOS and develop targeted treatments.

Infertility affects one in six adults and carries profound emotional, psychological, and social burdens often overlooked in medical care. This research evaluates a four-week yoga intervention for individuals undergoing IVF, aiming to reduce anxiety and depression while improving quality of life, addressing the unmet psychosocial needs of those experiencing infertility.

This research investigates how a gonorrhea protein is processed in E. coli using cellular signal sequences, which act like "ZIP codes" directing the protein to its proper location. By identifying effective signal sequences, the study informs potential molecular targets for earlier detection and better treatment, aiming to prevent gonorrhea-related infertility and improve women's reproductive health.
