Dr. Amelia Mackenzie is a Scientist in Contraceptive Research, Development, and Introduction at FHI 360, where she studies social-behavioral preferences and perceptions of sexual and reproductive health, largely to inform the development and introduction of new contraceptive and other prevention technologies. She has a particular interest in the impact of contraceptive methods on the menstrual cycle, as well as wider intersections between menstrual health and wider sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Dr. Mackenzie’s experience in the field of reproduction also extends to the laboratory, where her former research examined biological origins of undesired reproductive outcomes by identifying molecular changes in oocytes that develop after ovulation and via preclinical studies of a treatment for advanced maternal age infertility. She holds a PhD from the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a Master of Science degree in Reproductive Biology from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
