Science:
​Presentations & Publications

Our team seeks to learn more about preterm birth and adverse pregnancy outcomes so that ALL families can have healthy pregnancies.
We believe knowledge is power and there is lot to be learned.
We are so grateful to each and every patient who has enrolled in one or more of our studies.
​

We hope that by continuing to advance science and medicine that one day, no family has to endure the pain of losing a baby. Meeting presentations and publications are the culmination of hours of work and dedication, and how we can disseminate our findings with the scientific and medical community.
