The goal of the Interdisciplinary Reproduction & Health Group (IRHG) Seminar Series is to highlight transdisciplinary precision research taking place in the reproductive health field, provide opportunities for collaboration among researchers to build their own research efforts and promote clinical/researcher activity across the University of Missouri System and our partners.
The IRHG was organized and established through a faculty-driven, grass roots effort in 2016 to develop an integrative interdisciplinary program that transcends traditional departmental, college and system boundaries to foster excellence in reproduction, health research and education at Mizzou.

About the Speaker
Undergraduate institution: Davenport University
Bio: Born and raised in Kenya, Harriet moved to the United States of America to further her education right after high school. Harriet has always loved sciences, but it was in undergraduate that she discovered her love for research, so she decided to take an internship in a research institute to get the real-life experience. She worked in a reproduction health lab that focused on endometriosis, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer. With this experience she confirmed her love of research and the want to help people, so she chose to apply for the Translational Bioscience Program. Harriet’s goal is to shed a light on women’s reproductive health and finding solutions to the diseases that plague women like endometriosis. Outside the world of academia, Harriet loves to read, listen to music, and watch anime.
Current Research Interests: Integrative physiology, women reproductive health, endometriosis
