Virginia J. Vitzthum studies women's reproductive health, with a focus on the menstrual cycle, ovulation, and how factors like environment, contraception, and biology affect them. Much of her recent work uses data from menstrual-tracking mobile apps and cross-cultural studies (including in Bolivia, Ethiopia, India, and South Africa) to understand variation in menstrual and reproductive health. She also examines hormones such as progesterone and topics in human reproductive behavior.
