Biography

Nina Stachenfeld is a Senior Research Scientist in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at MyYSM University. She has a robust research program focused on the effects of reproductive hormones on cardiovascular autonomic function and fluid regulation. Her work has shown that reproductive hormones such as estradiol and progesterone play significant roles in osmotic regulation and body fluid distribution, which are crucial for understanding cardiovascular health, particularly in women with conditions such as Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and endometriosis. Stachenfeld has developed innovative models to study these effects and continues to investigate hormone-related cardiovascular issues in diverse populations, including transgender individuals. Through her research, she aims to mitigate risks associated with hormonal influences on cardiovascular health, contributing vital insights to the fields of obstetrics and gynecology, physiology, and reproductive medicine.
