“I am delighted to welcome Dr. Florence Haseltine PhD MD to our Advisory Board,” said Dr. Sharon Hrynkow, LSA Founder and President. “Dr. Haseltine brings a unique blend of intellect and passion to all that she does. Our community of entrepreneurs in the life science and all of us at LSA who will collaborate with Dr. Haseltine in one way or another will benefit immensely.”
Dr. Haseltine is a world recognized leader in women’s health research and an advocate for advancing women’s health globally. Dr. Haseltine currently serves as the Jenkins Garrett Professor and Presidential Distinguished Professor at the University of Texas at Arlington with an appointment in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation. Her prior roles include Associate Professor for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Pediatrics at Yale University School of Medicine, where she and her Yale colleagues were at the forefront of IVF, and as Director of the Center for Population Research at NIH’’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
Dr. Haseltine founded the Society for Women’s Health Research, a non-profit group that worked with Congress and the federal government to allow women’s participation in federally funded clinical trials. Prior to 1993, women did not have such access. That achievement quite literally changed the face of medicine for women in the US. Dr. Haseltine has received many awards and recognitions for her service to society, including the Lifetime Achievement Award for the Health and Dignity of Women and Girls from the Friends of the United Nations Population Fund and the Alma Dea Morani Renaissance Woman Award.
