Yvette Huet serves as Executive Director of the Center for ADVANCing Faculty Success and Professor in the Department of Applied Physiology, Health, & Clinical Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, with ongoing collaborations across Kinesiology and Biology departments.

Her academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Physiology (with Honors), University of Kansas Medical Center (1989)
• B.A. in Human Biology and Microbiology, University of Kansas (1984)

Dr. Huet's research centers on gonadal steroid physiology—particularly estrogen's role in adult diseases—and neonatal exposure to environmental toxicants. Her work aims to develop disease prevention/treatment methods while assessing environmental estrogen impacts on pregnancy and chronic conditions. Key research domains span Endocrinology, Toxicology, and Developmental Biology with strong translational focus on Reproductive Health and Environmental Disease mechanisms.

After postdoctoral immunology training at Monsanto Company, she joined UNC Charlotte's Biology Department as Assistant Professor (1991), achieving full Professorship (2005) before transitioning to Kinesiology (2013). Current collaborations include Kinesiology (Howden, Arthur, Marino), Biology (Leamy, Oliver), and Carolinas Medical Center (Steuerwald).

No student advising details or grant information appears in source materials, though her sustained research partnerships indicate active mentorship and funding engagement. As Director of ADVANCE Faculty Affairs and Diversity Office, she leads university-wide faculty development and equity initiatives.
