Morgan Orsolini

Prior to attending Duke, Morgan obtained a BS in Animal Science from California Polytechnic State University and a MS in Animal Biology from University of California Davis. She has always had a passion for animal conservation and chose to study embryology and assisted reproductive technologies as a means of enhancing endangered species reproduction. While working with the Reproductive Sciences research team at the San Diego Zoo, Morgan was exposed to projects relating environmental or dietary chemicals with impaired reproduction, which bolstered her interests in infertility research and led her to join Duke’s Integrated Toxicology and Environmental Health Program (ITEHP) to investigate how the laboratory environment can impact embryo development and in vitro fertilization outcomes.
