Aeka Guru received her BS in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology with a certificate in Global Health from Yale University in 2025.

She is passionate about global women’s health and reducing women’s health inequities through a multi-pronged approach of fieldwork, research, policy, and advocacy.
As a Women’s Health Research at Yale Undergraduate Fellow, she investigated the integration of sex and gender differences in Yale School of Medicine’s curriculum through the use of artificial intelligence, working closely with faculty and students to implement these changes.
