MEET THE TEAM

The Researchers Behind ARC Lab

We are an interdisciplinary group of researchers committed to advancing reproductive health equity across the life course. Led by Dr. Hilary Brown, our team includes postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, Master’s students, and staff who bring diverse research and lived expertise in epidemiology, public health, health equity, women’s health, and maternal-child health.

Together, we conduct innovative, community-engaged research that informs inclusive policies and improves outcomes for structurally marginalized populations. Learn more about the dedicated team members driving our work forward.
