研究室紹介
Professor Ina Choi's research lab specializes in maternal-fetal medicine, with a primary focus on preventing preterm birth through hormonal therapies. The lab investigates the efficacy and mechanisms of progestogen treatments—particularly vaginal micronised progesterone and intramuscular 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate—in high-risk pregnant women. Their work combines clinical trials with systematic reviews and meta-analyses to inform evidence-based obstetric practice. The lab is dedicated to improving perinatal outcomes through targeted, biologically informed interventions.
