I am a comparative endocrinologist specializing in the relationship between environmental influences (obesity, stress, toxicants) and fertility. My research assesses the direct effects of environmental factors on the interaction of metabolism, steroidogenesis, and fertility. Given the on-going epidemic of obesity and the increasing environmental exposure of humans and animals to a myriad of chemicals, it is critical to assess the impact of these environmental factors on normal physiology and to develop strategies to mitigate their pathologic consquences.
