Theresa Hardy, PhD

Dr. Theresa Hardy received her PhD in Nursing from Marquette University.  For her dissertation, she examined the association between chronic stress and ovarian function in female childhood cancer survivors. She focused specifically on anti-Müllerian hormone, a biomarker of the ovarian reserve, which is used to predict risk for post-treatment reproductive dysfunction. As a Postdoctoral Fellow, she will expand her work by examining the role of epigenetic modifications in the process of ovarian aging.
