She is a former Chief Resident in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Northwestern University and is currently a Harris Child and Family Fellow Scholar. The focus of her research involves understanding the health patterns, correlates, and implications of human sexuality, including sexuality as it relates to health and illness among older adults. A major focus is investigating sexual dysfunction and healthy sexuality in older women with diabetes.

She is collaborating with Edward Laumann, PhD, and Linda Waite, PhD, two internationally-renowned Professors of Sociology who are experts on sexuality and the family. Drs. Chin and Levinson are on the advisory panel for her national sexuality survey study. Dr. Lindau’s prior work included behavioral determinants of human papilloma virus practices and cervical cancer screening, contraceptive behavior, eradication of neonatal transmission of HIV, and the import of sexual and intimate relationships for quality of life and managing the tasks of dying in a palliative care population.
