Associate Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Baylor College of Medicine
Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital
My current academic position is at Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, Texas), as an Associate Professor. I am a fetal surgeon at Texas Children's Hospital providing care for patients who receive any fetal intervention from the time of pre-surgical evaluation, surgery and until delivery. Part of my clinical care is also dedicated to the management of the fetal neurosonology clinic at the same center. I am very invested in multiple research projects related to fetal conditions that require in utero therapy from a multidisciplinary approach and with particular emphasis on advanced imaging techniques. I am passionate about research mentorship, education, development of biomedical devices and innovation. One of the main focus of my research has been dedicated to understand the effects of fetal spina bifida repair and its minimally invasive approach, leading initiatives such as the International Consortium for Fetoscopic Myelomeningocele Repair.
Other current affiliations that I hold are: Member of the Steering Committee of Texas Children's Hospital Fetal Center, Steering Committee of the North American Fetal Therapy Network, Scientific Committee of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) , part of the Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology and Prenatal Diagnosis journal editorial boards.
