Research

The overarching objective for research in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology is to generate knowledge that advances the understanding and treatment of diseases that affect women’s health and reproduction. Research also aids in the fulfillment of our department’s commitment to work toward the public good and provides a competitive advantage to attract students, trainees, faculty members and patients.

We aim to use the most advanced methodologies and to engage multiple disciplines to tackle highly significant disease related problems. Our research is purposefully directed toward areas that will foster the rapid transformation of scientific discoveries into drugs, treatments and methods of prevention.

We are committed to the process of translational research: applying ideas, insights and discoveries generated through basic scientific inquiry to the treatment or prevention of human disease; and the process of taking insights and ideas from clinical experience to generate new testable hypotheses.
