Biography

Dr. Amelia Wesselink (she/her) is a Research Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Boston University School of Public Health. Her research focuses on how climate change and neighborhood context can influence reproductive and gynecologic health. Her overarching research goal is to identify how environmental threats and the social context in which they occur contribute to reproductive injustices. She leads research on environmental exposures and infertility in the Black Women's Health Study. She is a co-investigator on Pregnancy Study Online, where she has led work on the reproductive health effects of air pollution and heat, and the Study of Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids, where she has focused on exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals and gynecologic health. She also leads a BUSPH-funded pilot study on the pregnancy health of transgender and gender diverse people.
