About

Suzanne Havstad is a distinguished epidemiologist and biostatistician whose research has profoundly shaped our understanding of women's reproductive health, particularly in the areas of uterine fibroids, fertility, and early-life exposures. Her major contributions include pioneering work on the long-term reproductive outcomes following myomectomy, a surgical procedure to remove fibroids, as demonstrated in her influential 2012 retrospective cohort study on fertility after myomectomy. This work, which has garnered over 2 citations, provided critical evidence for clinical decision-making in reproductive medicine. Havstad's research portfolio also encompasses the environmental and genetic determinants of childhood health, with a focus on asthma and allergy development. She has been instrumental in large-scale cohort studies, such as the Wayne County Health, Environment, Allergy, and Asthma Longitudinal Study (WHEALS), where her expertise in complex data analysis has illuminated how prenatal and early-life factors shape lifelong health trajectories. Her work has been widely cited, reflecting its impact on both clinical practice and public health policy. A dedicated mentor and collaborator, Havstad continues to advance evidence-based approaches to improving women's and children's health.
