General Obstetrics & Gynecology; Molecular mechanism of chronic inflammatory diseases & conditions

 

Bogdan Nowicki, M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Microbiology and Immunology, evaluates the higher risk of pyelonephritis in pregnant women by anatomic/obstructive changes and characterizes the expression of DAF among African-American and Caucasian women undergoing elective pregnancy termination and preterm and term labor.

Research Information

Our main objective is to unveil the molecular mechanism of chronic inflammatory diseases (conditions) that affect women of all color.

We propose, according to our published study and new scientific data, that multiple chronic conditions including infection, stress and chronic diseases like: CVD, AD, PTB, UTI, obesity, infertility and diabetes have common, chronic inflammatory origins. These chronic diseases may be improved by an understanding, not recognized yet, of dynamic changes in crosstalk between women’s endocrine and immune systems.  This new understanding will be instrumental to correct and maintain women’s immuno-endocrine health.
