Designing Innovations to Improve Health and Health Care

TOPIC: 
MCHRI annually sponsor Stanford Byers Center for Biodesign Faculty Fellowships to spur innovations in maternal and child health, offering faculty the opportunity to apply their knowledge to advance care delivered through Stanford Children’s Health. Over an 8-month period, Faculty Fellows learn about the process of identifying innovation opportunities, inventing cost-effective solutions, and preparing to implement those inventions to improve patient care. At this talk, learn about the education and training opportunities offered through Biodesign, hear from current Faculty Fellows present rapid pitches of their projects, and receive updates from past alumni on their ongoing work designed to address health technology challenges and needs.

Spatial mapping of the human maternal fetal interface:  a normative template for vascular remodeling and immune tolerance

Little is known about the regulation of the maternal immune response to the fetus. We aim to use this MIBI to delineate immune cell populations and their spatial organization in order to reveal the pathways that lead to spiral artery remodeling and induction of the regulatory immune response to the fetus. In addition to addressing a basic question in reproductive biology - why does the maternal immune system not attack the fetus - this research also aims to address obstetric complications related to immunological responses such as preeclampsia and preterm birth.

Speakers & Topics:
Michael Angelo, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pathology
High dimensional imaging platform and imaging human decidua in the first 20 weeks of pregnancy

Ke Leow, Graduate student
