| Beverly Winikoff, M.D., M.P.H. is President of Gynuity Health Projects, a research and technical assistance organization dedicated to the idea that all people should have access to the fruits of medical science and technology development, and Professor of Clinical Population and Family Health at the Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University. Before starting Gynuity in 2003, Dr. Winikoff was employed for 25 years at the Population Council where she was Program Director for Reproductive Health and a Senior Medical Associate. She developed and managed the Council's Ebert Program on Critical Issues in Reproductive Health, including work on Safe Motherhood, prevention of STDs/AIDS, prevention of unsafe abortion, provision of safe abortion care, and improving postpartum care for mothers and babies. Prior to joining the Council in 1978, she was Assistant Director for Health Sciences, The Rockefeller Foundation. Her work has focused on issues of reproductive choice, contraception, abortion and women’s health. She is particularly interested in issues surrounding the abuse, misuse and non-use of medical technology as these phenomena impact on women’s health and autonomy.
Dr. Winikoff graduated from Harvard University magna cum laude and earned her M.D. degree from New York University and her M.P.H. degree from the Harvard School of Public Health.
