Epidemiology




Dr. Olivia Orta is a post-doctoral associate in epidemiology at the Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH). In June 2018, she graduated from Harvard School of Public Health with a doctorate in epidemiology. Dr. Orta has interests in reproductive and environmental epidemiology. Her dissertation research involved the study of the human stress response during pregnancy and in the postmenopausal period in prospective cohort studies from North and South America. She has expertise measuring cortisol, a stress hormone, in hair samples. Dr. Orta has a chief role in designing PRESTO’s new supplemental module on early life experiences. She is also co-investigator of the Study of Environment, Lifestyle, and Fibroids (SELF), in which she is examining the role of persistent pesticides and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) on self-reported stress and gynecologic disease.
