Shruthi Mahalingaiah, MD, MS
Dr. Shruthi Mahalingaiah is a reproductive endocrinologist at the OB/GYN department of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and an environmental researcher at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Dr. Mahalingaiah’s research seeks to understand the association of environmental risk factors on human reproduction as they pertain to the etiology and prevention of gynecological disease. She focuses on identifying environmental exposures associated with the development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and metabolic sequelae. Her research encompasses three distinct areas: 1.) Air pollution and gynecologic disease incidence including cardiometabolic risk; 2.) Environmental toxicant exposures across the lifespan with ovulatory disorders; and 3.) Creation of diverse cohorts to study women’s health. Dr. Mahalingaiah holds an MD from Harvard Medical School and an MS in epidemiology from Boston University’s School of Public Health. She completed an OB/GYN residency at the MGH/Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) combined program. She was a fellow in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at BWH. She spent 8 years at Boston Medical Center and Boston University School of Medicine to serve the fertility aspirations of under resourced populations. She received funding in 2016 and 2017 to pilot a new cohort platform for the study of menstrual cycles and ovulation disorders.
