Welcome to the Mahalingaiah Lab
At the Mahalingaiah Lab, our vision is to improve reproductive health outcomes – at every stage of life, for everyone.
We are a dynamic team of researchers and students led by Dr. Shruthi Mahalingaiah, and we are dedicated to better understanding environmental, reproductive, and women’s health using digital platforms. We investigate how common exposures, including air pollution and chemicals found in personal care products, can impact health outcomes.
We are located within the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Advancing the scientific understanding of environmental, reproductive, and women’s health using digital platforms
What We Do
The Mahalingaiah Lab investigates how environmental exposures and toxicants, such as air pollution and personal care products, affect reproductive health, linking them to gynecological diseases, pre-term birth, infertility, and fetal development. The lab also investigates factors impacting ovulation and menstrual health to optimize health during reproductive transitions and understand diseases like PCOS, infertility, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids.
Our Research
The world around us impacts our health. We investigate the relationship between environmental exposures and toxicants on health outcomes.
The Mahalingaiah Lab strives to better understand diseases that affect women throughout their lifespan, advancing reproductive health knowledge with thorough research.
