Education and career
editBurd graduated from Rutgers University in 1995, and then earned a Ph.D. and M.D. from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in 2003. In 2023 she was named the Sylvan Frieman, MD Endowed Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences.[1]
From 2021 until 2023 she was the president of the American Society for Reproductive Immunology,[2] and in 2022 the society presented her with an award for distinguished service.[3]
Burd's research examines the transmission of disease, including, for example, her investigation into the transmission of the Zika virus.[4]
