Research Interests
Christina Boots, MD enjoys a robust clinical practice that includes the full spectrum of reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She has a special interest in polycystic ovary syndrome and is developing a multi-disciplinary PCOS clinic to treat all aspects of the syndrome, including nutrition, weight management, and psychological support. Dr. Boots is actively involved in academic medicine and will earn her Masters of Science in Clinical Investigation in the summer of 2018. She regularly delivers formal and informal education to medical students, residents and fellows, and provides peer review on the Editorial Board of Fertility and Sterility. Her research focuses on the effects of PCOS, nutrition and obesity on reproductive health and oocyte quality. She is currently collaborating with Dr. Woodruff on the development of an in vitro polycystic ovary model. Dr. Boots is also the Director of Third Party Reproduction and in this role she manages all oocyte donation, sperm donation and gestational carrier cycles.
Infertility, assisted reproductive technology, polycystic ovary syndrome, effects of nutrition and metabolism on reproductive outcomes, recurrent pregnancy loss, fertility preservation, and diminished ovarian reserve.
