2022-2025 FSMFM/AAOGF Scholar

We are pleased to announce that Molly McAdow, MD PhD, has been selected for the 2022-2025 Foundation for SMFM/AAOGF Scholarship Award for her project entitled, “The Role of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitors in Endothelial Dysfunction in Preeclampsia.”

Dr. McAdow is currently an instructor of maternal-fetal medicine at Yale University. Her overarching career goal is to use basic and translational methodologies to address the pathologies that contribute to significant maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Her primary independent research will be elucidating the molecular mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction in preeclampsia to improve our diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities with respect to this condition. In addition, it is her hope that her laboratory will be a resource for other investigators to address translational questions related to clinical trials in order to deepen our mechanistic understanding and improve treatments for our patients. Dr. McAdow’s primary mentor for this award will be William Sessa, PhD.
