Christine Metz, PhD

Professor, Institute of Molecular Medicine, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research

Dr. Christine Metz received her BS and MS degrees from Cornell University and MS and PhD degrees in immunology/pathology from New York University. Currently, she is a Professor at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research at Northwell Health and a Professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in the Departments of OB/GYN and Molecular Medicine. In addition, she is a Professor and Associate Dean of the Elmezzi Graduate School of Molecular Medicine at Northwell. Dr. Metz has been funded by grants from NY State, the American Heart Association, as well as the NIH. She has published more than 175 peer-reviewed research papers and 15 review articles/book chapters. She is a named inventor or co-inventor on 5 patents. In 2019, she was identified as one of the top 100,000 scientists in the world (among 7 million) based on her productivity and the impact of her work (PLoS Biology, 2019). Her research primarily focuses on identifying mechanisms that underlie dysfunctional inflammatory responses. For the past 20 years she has focused on conditions that affect women, including preeclampsia, preterm labor, and endometriosis. She co-directs the ROSE (Research OutSmarts Endometriosis) study at Northwell Health with Dr. Peter K Gregersen. The ROSE team investigates menstrual effluent (or the shed endometrium) as a tool to better understand the etiology of endometriosis and its associated infertility. Their goals are to develop non-invasive methods for better detecting endometriosis and to develop improved treatments for patients with endometriosis and associated infertility.
