Dr. Craig’s research is focused on understanding how environmental exposures influence reproductive health. Her work characterizing toxicities associated with endocrine disruptors is aimed at understanding how chemical exposures alter ovarian function and cause adverse reproductive outcomes such as infertility and early menopause. Over the course of this research, Dr. Craig and her team have identified several genes of common importance in cancer biology and infertility as targets of environmental chemical exposures. Understanding how chemical exposures influence the function of the products of these genes and whether these alterations lead to increased risk for cancer and infertility are the main objectives of her cancer-related research focus.
