Dr. Bernard L. Harlow has a broad background in epidemiologic studies of female reproductive and gynecologic disorders. His research has focused on studies of malignant and borderline ovarian tumors, adverse obstetrical outcomes, premature menopause, and benign gynecological complications, particularly those arising in women suffering from childhood victimization and a variety of psychiatric disorders. He has made substantial methodological advancements in data collection, particularly with respect to studies of severe mood disorder and reproductive function, and studies of the prevalence and etiological predictors of chronic unexplained vulvar pain disorders. Currently, Dr. Harlow is the Principal Investigator, in collaboration with Dr. Kyle Rudser at the University of Minnesota, as head of the Scientific and Data Coordinating Center for a NIH-NIDDK multi-centered consortium that will launch descriptive, observational and clinical-based studies related to the wide spectrum of lower urinary tract syndromes in women. In addition to his research, his commitment to training is illustrated by the fact that about a third of his articles are in the mentorship role of doctoral and postdoctoral students, clinical fellows, and junior faculty members. Prior to his appointment at Boston University, he was a Mayo Professor of Epidemiology and Chair of the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health at the University of Minnesota School Of Public Health for nearly 10 years. He also spent 18 years at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Schools of Medicine and Public Health.

I would welcome the opportunity to mentor faculty, postdocs and doctoral students interested in building stronger research and academic portfolios. Mentoring areas include grant writing, how to work collaboratively and build transdisciplinary research teams, improving national and international recognition of research, and other professional and career development activities. My experience includes having been the Chair of the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health at the University of Minnesota for nearly 10 years, where I hired 22 new faculty and evaluated the performance of over 50 primary faculty annually. I also have extensive NIH experience as a founding member of the Infectious disease, Reproductive, Asthma and Pulmonary (IRAP) NIH Study Section, which I also chaired for two years. In addition, I served on the National Cancer Institute Board of Scientific Counselors where I Chaired a number of site visits to evaluate the academic performance of NCI intramural investigators. I have also been a member of numerous ad-hoc committees to evaluate intramural and extramural research at NICHD and NIEHS. My philosophy includes appropriate time management, maintaining a strong separation between professional and other family commitments, and a structured and practical approach toward positioning a colleague for success rather than failure.
