Biography

Dr. Minguez-Alarcon is a Spanish epidemiologist with joint appointments both at the Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women's Hospital (Assistant Professor of Medicine/Associate Epidemiologist) and the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health (Department Associate). Her research focuses on identifying chemical and non-chemical stressors of human fertility, reproductive and cardiometabolic health with special interest in chemical mixtures and diet-chemical interactions. Dr. Mínguez-Alarcón is the PI of the NIH funded Longitudinal Investigation of Health and Diseases after Infertility (LIHDI) Study, which is prospectively exploring chemical exposures during reproductive years in relation to long-term cardiovascular and metabolic health. She is also the PI of another NIH R01 that evaluates paternal pesticide exposure in relation to couple's pregnancy outcomes and associations with sperm and leukocyte epigenome. She brings her expertise to the Science of the Total Environment (STOTEN) journal as an Associate Editor and the Reproductive, Perinatal and Pediatric Health (RPPH) NIH study section as a Grant Reviewer.
