Kaitlin Nelson

I hold an undergraduate degree in kinesiology where I first started research doing data collection and won the 2015 Undergraduate Research Trainee CIHR Award. In 2021, I started my master’s degree in experimental medicine at the University of British Columbia. I am the research coordinator on a 6-month trial of cyclic progesterone and spironolactone therapy for treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome in 40 individuals aged 19 – 40 years old in British Columbia. I was responsible for ethics submissions, recruitment, data collection and analysis. My academic contributions include a published paper and the presentation of data at various conferences through both poster sessions and speaking engagements. My career aspiration is to continue contributing to research, particularly in the realm of women’s menstrual health issues.
