Sarahna  Moyd

Doctoral Stud

As a public health enthusiast and an emerging reproductive toxicologist, my primary areas of interest are human reproduction and Maternal and Child Health.  I am broadly interested in chemical exposures such as endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), i.e. PFAS and chemo-therapeutics, and their contribution to infertility and neuroendocrine dysfunction from adolescence through menopause.  My research applies interdisciplinary methods in environmental toxicology, epidemiology, and systems biology to elucidate mechanisms of biological function, and the transition from good health to disease states.  Currently, my dissertation research uses compuational toxicocolgy to model ovarian maturation and simulate ovarian aging, and traditional epidemiology to evaluate the effects of in utero exposures on adulthood fertility outcomes.  

I am very passionate about mentorship and teaching, and a MCH Doctoral Scholar Fellow with the MCH Center of Excellence.
