Integrated chemical exposome-metabolome profiling of follicular fluid and associations with fertility outcomes during assisted reproduction.
Environment international ·doi:10.1016/j.envint.2025.109787

Many endocrine-disrupting chemicals have been linked to impaired ovarian function and fertility. However, most research has focused on small numbers of known chemicals in blood or urine. We aimed to measure the untargeted chemical exposome …

In-utero exposure to polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and menstrual cycle function in adulthood.
International journal of hygiene and environmental health ·doi:10.1016/j.ijheh.2023.114297

BackgroundThere is evidence that in-utero exposure to PBBs, and similar chemicals, are associated with several adverse reproductive health outcomes including altered pubertal timing. However, less is known about the effects of in-utero expo…

The impact of sickle cell disease and its treatment on ovarian reserve in reproductive-aged Black women.
British journal of haematology ·doi:10.1111/bjh.19582

We compared serum anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels in women with sickle cell disease (SCD) (n = 152) to those of Black comparison women (n = 128) between the ages of 20 and 45 years and evaluated the impact of hydroxyurea (HU) and iron o…

The use of fertility treatments among reproductive-aged women after cancer.
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2023.12.012

ObjectiveTo examine whether female cancer survivors are more likely to pursue care for infertility after cancer than women without cancer.DesignPopulation-based cohort study involving detailed interviews regarding reproductive history.Setti…

The Risk of Infertility After Surgery for Benign Ovarian Cysts
Journal of women's health (2002) ·doi:10.1089/jwh.2022.0385

Background: There is a growing body of evidence that ovarian cystectomy may negatively impact ovarian reserve. However, it is unclear whether ovarian cyst surgery puts women at risk of future infertility. This study investigates whether sur…

When using donor oocytes, does embryo stage matter? An analysis of blastocyst versus cleavage stage embryo transfers using a cryopreserved donor oocyte bank.
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-021-02183-4

PurposeOocyte donor in vitro fertilization (IVF) represents an ideal model to study the effects of embryo stage on reproductive success, as embryos come from young women with high-quality oocytes. Our study aimed to determine if embryo tran…

article 2020
Endometriosis, endocrine disrupters, and epigenetics: an investigation into the complex interplay in women with polybrominated biphenyl exposure and endometriosis
Journal of assisted reproduction and genetics ·doi:10.1007/s10815-020-01695-9

PurposeEndocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) have been shown to affect multiple biologic processes especially steroid-hormone processes. We sought to determine differences in DNA methylation exists between women with and without endometrios…

article 2020
Examining Reproductive Health Outcomes in Females Exposed to Polychlorinated Biphenyl and Polybrominated Biphenyl
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-020-60234-9

In 1973, accidental contamination of Michigan livestock with polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) led to the establishment of a registry of exposed individuals that have been followed for > 40 years. Besides being exposed to PBBs, this cohort ha…
