Mr.
Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children’s Hospital
I am David Moorshead, MD/PhD candidate in Dr. Kjersti Aagaard's lab at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. I grew up in Missouri where I initially became interested in research. After earning a Bachelor of Science in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Johns Hopkins University, I worked in research labs full-time at NIH focusing on ovarian and breast cancer. Afterward, I wanted to pursue more medical and research training by joining a dual-degree MD/PhD program at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. I have enjoyed learning more about pregnancy and placental biology during my medical school training and thesis research, and I look forward to learning more from attending SMFM conferences.
