Welcome to the UCSF Center for Reproductive Health, where we dive into the fascinating world of reproductive health management. Our hormones change throughout our lives, fulfilling various roles, and a well-functioning endocrine system is crucial for longevity. When these systems don’t operate smoothly, it can throw other bodily functions out of whack.
At CRH, our dedicated team studies how hormonal fluctuations impact different aspects of life, from mood and sleep to diabetes and cardiovascular health. If you’re curious about which studies might be right for you, don’t hesitate to reach out! You can also check out various UCSF studies online to find the perfect fit.
Current Research: The GEAR Study
Right now, we’re excited about the GEAR Study, which focuses on gender-expansive attitudes about reproductive health. It’s one of the first studies in the U.S. to explore how access to fertility services affects the quality of life for transgender and non-binary individuals. If you identify as transgender or non-binary and are over 18, you could be eligible to participate!
