My Fulbright research investigates how endometrial stem and progenitor cells contribute to healthy tissue regeneration and how disruptions in these pathways may lead to endometriosis. By uncovering the cellular origins of this disease, my work aims to inform the development of improved diagnostics and targeted therapeutics.

Sarah Broyhill is a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she received a BS in Biology.

Sarah will complete her Fulbright research at the Ritchie Centre within the Hudson Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia. Her project investigates the origins of endometriosis through the study of endometrial progenitor and stem cells. She plans to begin an MD-PhD program upon returning to the United States, aiming to become a physician-scientist dedicated to advancing understanding and treatment of reproductive health disorders, such as endometriosis.
