Reproduction, Endocrinology, and Development Affinity Group (READ)

Affinity Group III: Reproduction, Endocrinology, and Development Affinity Group (READ)
Affinity Group Leader: Dr. George Gerton 

Group Description
Aim: The mission of the READ affinity group is to elucidate the effects of environmental stressors and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in windows of susceptibility from conception through to adulthood. This group has a substantial interest in the developmental basis of adult-disease. The READ affinity group facilitates collaboration with the Center for Research on Reproduction & Women’s Health (CRRWH) and the Clinical Services of OB/GYN in Reproductive Endocrinology and Fertility, Maternal Fetal Medicine, and the Department of Pediatrics.
