About Our Research

In the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Boston Medical Center and Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, our faculty are dedicated to conducting multidisciplinary research that advances reproductive and maternal health and reduces health inequities. We lead clinical, translational, and population health research that expands equitable access to high-quality health care, fosters physical and mental well-being, and supports the health of our patients across the life course. As a part of New England’s largest safety-net health system, our work is deeply rooted in equitable care, community engagement, teaching and mentorship, and inclusive partnerships to optimize the health of our diverse patient population.

Our investigators bring expertise across an array of topics – including basic, clinical, and translational research, implementation science, quality improvement, and clinical program development. Our work addresses critical topics such as uterine fibroids, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, infertility, maternal morbidity and mortality, birth control, HIV, teen pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and substance use disorders.
