Biography:
My name is Niyoosha Yoosefi and am a fourth-year Honours Bachelor of Sciences student, specializing in Cellular Anatomical Physiology at UBC.

I have a keen interest in Endocrinology and Women’s health and am currently doing a studentship at the Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research, looking at the effectiveness of progesterone therapy for women with PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). I’ve also started the UBC Women’s Health Initiative (UBC WHI) where my team and I raise awareness on often underdiagnosed and under-researched disorders related to women’s health.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
