Leslie Farland, ScD, focuses her research on women’s health, particularly looking at the intersection between women’s reproductive health and chronic disease risk; etiology and risk factors for endometriosis, infertility, and polycystic ovary syndrome; and disparities in access to infertility care and fertility treatment utilization.

Her diagnosis of endometriosis at age 22 led to her participation in local and statewide advocacy and support efforts.
