Rate My Professor Joel Brind

Brind's research specializations encompass endocrinology, steroid sulfates, androgen assays, lipid metabolism, reproductive biology, and the health risks associated with hormonal interventions. He has authored or co-authored 57 publications, accumulating over 2,400 citations. Key works include the seminal meta-analysis 'Induced abortion as an independent risk factor for breast cancer: a comprehensive review and meta-analysis' (1996, Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health), which examined 23 epidemiologic studies; 'Induced abortion as an independent risk factor for breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies on South Asian Women' (2018); 'Risk of HIV Infection in Depot-Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (DMPA) Users: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis' (2015); and 'Glycine supplementation extends lifespan of male and female mice' (2019, Aging Cell). Recent publications address hormonally active contraceptives, including 'Hormonally Active Contraceptives Part I: Risks Acknowledged and Unacknowledged' (2021) and 'Part II: Sociological, Environmental, and Economic Impact' (2021). Brind's epidemiological analyses have influenced discussions on breast cancer etiology and contraceptive safety. Additionally, he is president of Natural Food Science, LLC, developing glycine-based supplements informed by his longevity research.
