Tyra T. Gross, PhD, MPH (she/her/hers)

Associate Professor, Department Head
Xavier University of Louisiana
New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

Dr. Tyra Toston Gross is an Associate Professor and Department Chair of Public Health at Xavier University of Louisiana, where she has worked as a public health instructor, researcher and mentor since August 2015. Her research expertise is in maternal & child health disparities. Prior to joining Xavier, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship in reproductive women’s health at University of Texas Medical Branch. Given her interest in maternal & child health, the majority of Dr. Gross' research has focused on the health of reproductive-age women. Her current research projects explore the health of Black postpartum women in Louisiana, infant & young child feeding during emergencies, and smoking cessation needs for low-income pregnant women. She is a proud wife and mom of four spunky kids.
