Katherine P.Pryor MD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology .USA

Biography

She devotes her entire career to improve pregnancy outcomes through innovative research. Dr. Feng conducts both basic science/laboratory research, as well as participate in clinical studies. Her laboratory has focused on understanding the mechanisms of preterm birth which is an important cause of perinatal and neonates’ mortality and morbidity. Currently, she has four lines of investigation focused on the roles of progesterone receptors, inflammation/infection, genetic variation, and environmental exposure in preterm birth. This work is translated then to the clinical care of women through studies dedicated to identify risk factors and novel biomarkers for early prediction and prevention of preterm birth.
