So great to have a much needed in-person social with some fabulous Radiology faculty! Shokeen Malik Biophotonics Research Center WashUMedMIR #WashUImaging



.@NICHD_NIH has invested in placenta studies to inform #research than can improve prenatal care. In this podcast, Director Diana Bianchi discusses the importance of maintaining #MaternalHealth for moms & babies: go.usa.gov/x693P. #MaternalHealthMonday







Excited to be part of this important Women's Health Technologies Initiative that is bringing engineers and women's health providers together to improve the lives of women! Check it out: engineering.wustl.edu/news/2021/McKe… via WashU McKelvey Engineering WashU Biomedical Engineering WashU Medicine OBGYN


#WashU & #WashUMed researchers aims to develop strategies to improve women’s health research thanks to a new collaborative initiative spearheaded by WashU McKelvey Engineering' Quing Zhu, PhD, & WashU Medicine OBGYN's Yong Wang, PhD, who both also hold MIR appointments. engineering.wustl.edu/news/2021/McKe…

.@WashUEngineers & WashU Medicine OBGYN also launched the Collaboration Initiation Grants. MIR Instructor Christine O'Brien, PhD, was an inaugural recipient, and the funds support her work to develop a wearable light-based sensor that provides early alerts for postpartum hemorrhage.


Check out our new article led by Dr. Laura Masson Laura Masson and Vanderbilt Biophotonics Center in AJOG titled "In vivo Raman spectroscopy monitors cervical change during labor." First publication of Raman spectroscopy-based cervical measures during labor! authors.elsevier.com/c/1enKTgm3rZWx…

Can't wait for this upcoming seminar by Prof. Audrey Bowden from VU Engineering on Thursday! Certainly of interest to @WUSTLpubhealth and WashUMedMIR

Please consider following my research lab O’Brien Lab for updates on our light-based women's health engineering research, outreach activities, learning more about our team, and things we are excited about in this space! WashU Biomedical Engineering WashU Medicine OBGYN


This week we want to highlight Francesca Bonetta-Misteli’s presentation at the SPIE Photonics West Conference! Francesca presented on the Early Detection of Postpartum Hemorrhage with a Wearable Optical Device, a collaboration with Leo Shmuylovich, MD PhD and Antonina (Toni) Frolova funded by @NICHD_NIH




Loved sharing my lab’s work on early detection of postpartum hemorrhage at SRI! Thanks to collaborators Leo Shmuylovich, MD PhD Antonina (Toni) Frolova O’Brien Lab WashU Biomedical Engineering WashU Medicine OBGYN
