Research Activities and Funding

The Effects of Amniotic Fluid Index on Latency Period and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Patients with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes
UCSF California Preterm Birth Initiative Feb 1, 2018 - Jan 31, 2019
Role: PI
Description: Understanding and reducing barriers to utilization of an evidence based preterm birth prevention with the use of Progesterone (17P) intervention in Fresno County$ 50,000 total.

Screening of Environmental Chemicals in Central California Pregnant Women
California Office of Environment Health Hazard Assessment Jun 1, 2017 - Dec 31, 2018
Role: Co-Investigator; PI for UCSF Fresno
Description: Fresno has been identified as a highly impacted community due to high exposures to multiple pollutants and social stressors such as poverty from CalEnviroScreen, a tool developed by the California Environmental Protection Agency. This pilot project will focus on better understanding chemical exposures at a local scale during vulnerable periods of development, in particular pregnancy.

Predicting response to progesterone therapy in women with recurrent spontaneous preterm birth using machine learning on electronic medical records
UCSF Research Allocation Program Jun 1, 2017 - May 31, 2018
Role: Co Principal Investigator
Description: Preterm birth (PTB) is a significant cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The American College ofObstetricians and Gynecologists recommends progesterone supplementation to women with either a prior spontaneous PTB or an incidental finding of short cervical length. Unfortunately, many of these high-risk women will deliver before 34 weeks of gestation despite progesterone therapy. Correctly identifying those with high likelihood of response to progesterone is the key to correctly utilizing limited resources. This project aims to use apply state-of-art machine learning computation to study the biologicalbehaviors of women with high-risk for PTB using their electronic medical records.
