Lianne Marie Gonsalves is an American scientist and technical officer for the Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research at the World Health Organization in Geneva.[1][2] Her research explores the area of adolescent sexual and reproductive health.[3]

Background

[edit]

Gonsalves grew up in Cary, North Carolina. As an undergraduate at North Carolina State University, Gonsalves pursued a course in biological sciences with the possible ambition of becoming a doctor. While at university, an undergraduate research trip to Guatemala encouraged her to pursue studies in public health.[4] She graduated from NC State in 2010, later moving to Venezuela for a Fulbright Scholarship.[4][5] In 2013, Gonsalves graduated from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with a Masters of Science in Public Health.[6] At Johns Hopkins, she researched family planning practices in Ethiopia on a Boren Scholarship.[4] She later earned her doctorate in epidemiology at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute. For her doctoral dissertation, she researched the role of pharmacies as contraceptive outlets for young people in Kenya.[7]

World Health Organization

[edit]

Gonsalves joined the World Health Organization in 2013. At the World Health Organization, she leads public engagement on the topics of sexual education, health and well-being,[8][9] as well as research initiatives on the topics of contraception,[10] intersex surgery[11] and sexual education.[12][13] One of her projects includes the World Health Organization Sexual Health Survey, a comprehensive project on global sexual health.[14][15]
