Ob/Gyn Research
UT Southwestern Medical Center's Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology maintains a robust research program funded through private, government, and Department sponsorships.
Building on the legacies of Jack Pritchard, M.D., and Paul MacDonald, M.D., we believe that a partnership between clinicians and basic scientists is essential to understanding the underlying mechanisms that affect a woman's health and to providing each woman with the most effective treatment options.
