Dr. Alexis Reeves

Biography

Alexis Reeves is a Propel postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Epidemiology and Population Health at Stanford University, working in Dr. Michelle Odden’s lab. Her research is broadly focused on the causes and consequences of racial disparities in accelerated aging, particularly the interplay of structural and interpersonal racism and the psychobiological mechanisms that lead to early health declines in minoritized populations. Her work has primarily concentrated on the health of Black women as they navigate significant life stages, including the midlife menopausal transition and resulting cardio-metabolic risks. Alexis is also strongly interested in causal inference and employs causal inference theory and methods in her research to account for and quantify bias.
