Emmalee Ford

(she/they)

I research across the wide field of sexual and reproductive health, everything from abortions to vasectomy.

Our reproductive systems are so critical to our overall health and wellbeing. They’re responsible for the future of humankind, and yet they are so secretive and under-researched.

I am a multidisciplinary scientist with expertise in biology, public health, data science and education. I use my skills to collaborate with clinicians, health professionals, communities, and universities to improve reproductive health outcomes and increase access to sexual health education and services.
