Dr. Jindal
“I have often been asked why I chose this field of study. The field of women’s health chose me! As a female scientist, mentored largely by female thought leaders throughout my career, I studied human reproductive physiology and ovarian cancer before pivoting to a patient-focused application of science through in vitro fertilization. Nothing makes me happier than leading teams of skilled laboratorians to help patients build their families.”
