Research:

Pregnancy showcases a remarkable example of immunological regulation that is meticulously orchestrated by the mother, fetus, and placenta. When this delicate equilibrium is disrupted, it can result in a range of pregnancy complications. Our research is dedicated to investigating the immunobiological pathways that underlie such pregnancy complications, with a special emphasis on preterm birth. We seek to advance our understanding and develop targeted strategies for the prevention and management of preterm birth, ultimately promoting the well-being of both mothers and infants.

Our mission is:

1. To conduct translational and clinical research on the immunological pathways that lead to obstetrical disorders, with the goals of improving the understanding of the mechanisms of disease and of developing methods for the early diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of pregnancy complications, with an emphasis on preterm birth.
2. To train post-graduate and graduate-level professionals in maternal-fetal immunobiology. We welcome MDs and PhDs to be a part of our multidisciplinary group.
