Placenta Power-house

Once of the things that Cindy and I organized this past year is a monthly working group of labs working in the area of pathogens and the placenta. We brought in folks from OB/GYN, Pediatrics, CVR, Biological Sciences, Medicine…all over the University and a range from the basic to clinical sciences. There is a small community doing this type of work here at Pitt, but the COVID pandemic resulted in each group working in isolation. So we thought we’d fix that. The first year has been a success. Last Friday, we had an in-person end-of-year get-together. We have plans for growing the program in 2024! Stay tuned!
