Studying effects of maternal immune activating exposures on fetal brain development and offspring behavior. 👍🏻microglia, the placenta, and sex differences.
AJOG Special Release: In the largest study of its kind to date, researchers have found mRNA COVID vaccines to be highly effective in producing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus in pregnant & lactating women. https://t.co/zagwGXrbtW @ob_kjg@evanbordt@EdlowLab @DocElovitz
Wha a week at #SMFM2026. Honored to present our work on substance use during pregnancy and maternal immune activation.
Grateful to @EdlowLab for her mentorship and support, and to all the dedicated colleagues who made this meeting so special.
Looking forward to what comes next!
Stunning. With rollout of the RSV vaccine and treatment for babies <8 months old, RSV hospitalizations fell >50%.
By comparison, for toddlers and kids <5 years who were not covered by these advances, RSV hospitalizations did not fall.
Michelle and I send our congratulations to a fellow Chicagoan, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV. This is a historic day for the United States, and we will pray for him as he begins the sacred work of leading the Catholic Church and setting an example for so many, regardless of faith.

#SMFM25 has officially come to an end. Grateful for an incredible experience in Denver—learning, connecting, and being inspired by leaders in MFM. Huge thanks to @EdlowLab for the opportunity. Excited for what’s ahead and looking forward to all the research yet to come!
Key insights on the impact of maternal SARS-CoV-2 exposure on offspring ND outcomes—from personalized microglial models using CB-MNCs to clinical implications in a cohort followed until 3 years of age. Grateful to learn from inspiring mentors, @EdlowLab & @LydiaShook10 ✨ #SMFM25
Loved hanging out with a wonderful and accomplished @MySMFM Resident Scholar, Tanner Fincher! She will be a fantastic MFM fellow and future colleague!!
When your Chair is @MySMFM President and has the most uplifting interview with honorary SMFM member @RepUnderwood to not give up on the issue of maternal health equity, especially during difficult times for public health! 🤩 @drcynthiagyamfi
