Obstetrics + Gynecology Research

At the Mother Infant Research Institute (MIRI), we’re dedicated to better understanding the intimate biological connection between child and parent during and after pregnancy.

The in-utero environment has a major influence on the developing fetus, altering their gene expression and health outcomes by extension. Pregnancy is also a “stress test” for later health problems in the biological parent, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Sebastian Ramos, MD
Dr. Sebastian Ramos is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist and clinical researcher who focuses on the role of systemic racism in obstetric and neonatal outcomes. His current funding includes a K12 Building Interdisciplinary Careers in Women's Health (BIRCWH) Award.

Alexandra Spadola, MD
Dr. Spadola is one of the PI's for the NIDDK funded, GO MOMs study, a large prospective cohort investigation attempting to identify a better way to diagnose gestational diabetes.

Erika Werner, MD, MS
Dr. Werner's research focuses on using pregnancy as a stress test to identify life-long disease risk. She is a national expert on diabetes in pregnancy, preeclampsia and cost-effective practices in obstetrics and is particularly interested in improving postpartum care. She has had funding from the NICHD, the NIDDK, and the American Diabetes Association.

We have an active clinical trials program whereby we can offer the latest potential therapeutics. We are an affiliate member of the NRG, a national cooperative clinical trials organization that is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. Membership in NRG assures that our patients have access to the latest and most effective treatments for their disease.

We have clinical research coordinators that support the full range of clinical trials, including:

• Investigational drugs
• Devices
• Biomarkers
• Surveys
• Quality improvement projects

These trials may be federally funded, industry-supported or investigator-initiated and supported by institutional funds.

Danielle Roncari, MD
Dr. Roncari performs mixed-methods analyses examining contraceptive decision-making.

Megan L. Evans, MD, MPH
The research of Megan L. Evans, MD, MPH, focuses on long active reversible contraception (LARC) access, community health considerations, health care policy, physician advocacy and resident education.

She’s currently the principal investigator for a nationwide project working to better understand sterilization procedures and trends in the Medicaid population.
