Pittsburgh, PA, United States
Janet M. Catov is an Associate Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and an Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health. She is Magee-Womens Research Institute Director of Health and Clinical Research. She completed a post-doctoral fellowship in Reproductive Biology and Perinatal Epidemiology at Magee Womens Research Institute, and a career development training award in Cardiovascular Epidemiology. Dr. Catov has extensive training and experience in designing and conducting epidemiologic studies of large, population and clinical cohorts to understand determinants and consequences of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Her research is in the forefront of identifying common predisposing factors to adverse pregnancy outcomes and later-life maternal cardiovascular disease (CVD). She has collected evidence over the past decade to suggest that this relationship has roots in pre-clinical vascular disease, lipid metabolism, and inflammation. Her current research is focused on incorporating placental features into studies of pregnancy and later life maternal sequelae. Dr. Catov also oversees the Magee Obstetric Medical and Infant Database (MOMI), a perinatal registry of maternal, fetal, and infant data assembled from over 200,000 births at Magee-Womens Hospital since 1995. She also oversees the MOMI Biobank with biospecimens collected across pregnancy from more than 4,000 women. Dr. Catov research is funded by NIH, the American Heart Association and local foundations.
