Research
The generation of new knowledge through research is a primary focus for the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. Our faculty are leveraging investigational insights and discoveries to develop a full complement of health services directed to women of all ages in a "womb to tomb" model.
We have expanded and strengthened our clinical service lines around core services in General Gynecology and Obstetrics, Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology, Adolescent Reproductive Health, and Family Planning and Contraception. In addition, we have emerging programs in Infectious Diseases, Menopause, and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery. The result has been a diversification of our research portfolio to include basic, translational, and clinical investigation, therapeutic clinical trials, and programs centered on understanding the social and behavioral determinants of reproductive health. Our clinical and research programs interface bi-directionally and provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration with a variety disciplines to form a foundation that support our vision of a comprehensive program for excellence in women's health.
Research is also an integral part of our teaching mission. Students, residents, and fellows training in our specialty and subspecialties have an opportunity to partner with experienced research mentors and to choose from a diverse portfolio of research opportunities.
Collectively, our goal is to harness the promise of molecular medicine for improving reproductive and women's health. Ultimately, we are working to discover, develop, and deliver improved preventatives, diagnostics, treatments, and cures for conditions that impact women.
