Enrique F. Schisterman is an internationally recognized expert in reproductive epidemiology and epidemiologic methods. Trained in statistics and epidemiology at the University at Buffalo, his research has advanced understanding of fertility, highlighting the roles of inflammation, supplement limitations, and male factors. He has championed low-cost, evidence-based interventions that have influenced clinical practice and improved reproductive care.

His methodological work—on collider bias, overadjustment, and biomarker pooling—has become foundational in population health research. Schisterman is chair of the Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology and Informatics at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Epidemiology.

He has authored over 450 peer-reviewed publications and received numerous honors, including awards from the American College of Epidemiology, the Society for Epidemiologic Research (SER), and the Society for Pediatric and Perinatal Epidemiologic Research (SPER).
