Research summary
AI-generated

Robert B. Hood's research examines how environmental exposures (such as air pollution, industrial chemicals like PBBs/PFAS, and phthalates) and social factors (like neighborhood deprivation and abortion policy) affect reproductive health, fertility treatment outcomes, and menstrual/ovarian function. Much of the work uses metabolomics and epigenetic markers in blood, follicular fluid, and other biospecimens from women undergoing IVF or from broader population cohorts. The lab also studies reproductive health policy impacts, including abortion access and mental health outcomes.
