BUILT, NATURAL, AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENTS ACROSS THE LIFECOURSE: TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED MODEL OF REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
Online
Dr. Messerlian is a passionate and curious scientist working on real life reproductive health solutions. She is an Assistant Professor of Reproductive Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH). Her research examines the extent to which the natural, built, and social environments affect a couple’s ability to achieve conception, maintain pregnancy, and deliver healthy offspring. She investigates how paternal and maternal preconception exposures including large classes of chemicals and their mixtures, air pollutants, and stress impact ovarian reserve, semen quality, time to pregnancy, pregnancy loss, preterm birth, birth weight, placental parameters, and child development outcomes. She specializes in reproductive, perinatal, and pediatric epidemiology, infertility, assisted reproduction, and causal methods with perinatal application. She applies cutting-edge epidemiologic methods to generate evidence-based knowledge of the effects of environmental exposures on fertility, pregnancy, and child health outcomes. Dr. Messerlian holds a BS in nursing and a PhD in epidemiology from McGill University, and an MS in public health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. She trained as a postdoctoral fellow and research scientist at HSPH for 5 years before joining the faculty where she has appointments in the Departments of Epidemiology and Environmental Health at HSPH and in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Massachusetts General Hospital.
