Our mission is to conduct innovative research to advance the field of family planning. Our work aims to develop novel methods of contraception, to increase access to family planning methods and services, to optimize procedures for pregnancy termination and management of early pregnancy loss, and to identify ways to promote reproductive justice and autonomy. Our collaborative research seeks to bridge clinical and basic sciences with social science, advocacy, and racial equity. We strive to ensure the rights of all individuals to achieve their reproductive goals.
