Our Team

At the Gynecology Research Lab, we are dedicated to understanding and addressing
painful periods and chronic pelvic pain: conditions that have historically been under-researched and under-treated. Our work seeks to explore the underlying causes of these types of pain and improve care for those affected. With backgrounds in medicine, neuroscience, public health, and data science, our team is united by a shared commitment to advancing reproductive health and making space for conditions that have too often been overlooked.
