OUR LONG-TERM GOAL

Our research team pioneers innovations to better understand signals of well-being and distress the fetus sends from the womb. This includes genetic/epigenetic techniques, leading-edge fetal imaging and electrophysiology to improve monitoring of high-risk pregnancies and to open earlier windows of therapeutic opportunity. All interested volunteers will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, military/veteran status or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.
