Zarah Khondoker
Zarah Khondoker is an incoming graduate student at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, a Reproductive Health Journalist & Activist, TEDx speaker. She's fascinated by several public health issues, including the portrayal and representation of hormones in the context of reproductive health and how this impacts the way we view hormones, along with the origins of reproductive disease. She believes that reproductive health is often categorized into only a select few issues and often overlooks topics such as hormone-driven conditions such as PCOS, endometriosis, male infertility, menopause, and the impact of endocrine disruptors. As a future scientist, her current research spans from understanding reproductive health as a societal issue to spearheading a team to create biomedical diagnostic tools to make hormonal health accessible globally.
