Kathryne Sanserino
Clinical Assistant Professor, Obstetrics & Gynecology - General
BioDr. Sanserino is a gynecologist whose office work focuses on providing gynecologic care for cancer survivors, patients living with cancer, and at-risk women.

Some of the specific gynecologic symptoms that cancer survivors often experience include chemotherapy induced menopause, decisions about oophorectomy (ovary removal) for breast cancer patients and women at high risk for breast cancer, family planning after breast cancer, hot flashes, low libido and sexual side effects, side effects of breast cancer drugs, sleep disturbances, and vaginal dryness.
She also works with the Menopause & Healthy Aging Program to help patients manage the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause, diagnose and treat female sexual dysfunction, and utilize lifestyle medicine to treat and decrease the risk of chronic conditions associated with aging.
She has been recognized as an outstanding medical educator, winning several awards for resident education. She is currently one of the assistant residency program directors for the OB/GYN residency. In addition to her office clinic work, she works with the outstanding residents to provide inpatient gynecologic care and emergency surgeries.

On Leave from 09/23/2024 To 12/13/2024Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how our brains generate social interactions that differ between the sexes. Such gender differences in behavior are regulated by sex hormones, experience, and social cues. Accordingly, we are characterizing how these internal and external factors control gene expression and neuronal physiology in the two sexes to generate behavior. We are also interested in understanding how such sex differences in the healthy brain translate to sex differences in many neuro-psychiatric illnesses.
