Helen Chin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Global and Community Health. Her research interests are centered around investigating factors that adversely affect the reproductive health of women and girls, as well as their offspring. Her current focus is studying how endocrine disrupting exposures affect ovarian development and function.��

Dr. Chin was trained in epidemiology at Emory University where she studied access to fertility counseling and medical care for infertility among reproductive age cancer survivors. Before coming to Mason, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park, NC.��
