Perinatal Origins of Disease Core
The goal of the Perinatal Origins of Disease (POD) Core is to oversee all program activities, organize scientific meetings, and foster collaboration. Our POD Core includes program leadership and management, as well as our biorepository team. These teams accomplish important behind the scenes work to help our faculty collaborators focus on advancing perinatal medicine. Our staff assist with fiscal support, regulatory oversight, awarding pilot funds to promising research projects, and support collaboration between departments and institutions.
