Overview
Our research program focuses on advancing knowledge in gynecologic conditions, maternal-fetal medicine, obstetrics, and complications of pregnancy and surgery. We conduct a broad range of studies, including epidemiologic, observational, and interventional research, to better understand risk factors, outcomes, and effective interventions. In addition, we integrate biospecimen collection and analysis to explore biologic mechanisms and identify novel biomarkers. This multidisciplinary approach supports both clinical translation and scientific discovery to improve women’s health across the lifespan.
