\nBiographie :After completing her fellow
 ship at the University of Utah\, Dr. Aagaard established her independent l
 aboratory and clinical and translational research teams at Baylor College 
 of Medicine in 2007. Dr. Aagaard’s highly collaborative laboratory and c
 linical research programs are dedicated to (1) discovering the genomic\, e
 pigenomic\, and metagenomic mechanisms underlying perinatal health and dis
 ease\, and (2) executing clinical trials to bring these discoveries to the
  bedside of pregnant women and their infants. This application serves as a
  natural extension to four major focuses of their research program: (1) mo
 lecular mechanisms regulating placentation\, and implications for pregnanc
 y health and perinatal disorders\, (2) the effect of in utero exposures on
  the fetal epigenome\, (3) identifying the interplay of environmental expo
 sures and genomic and epigenomic mechanisms involved in perinatal disorder
 s and notably preterm birth\, and (4) understanding the role of the microb
 iome in perinatal health (emphasizing preterm birth) with metagenomic inte
 rrogations. Dr. Aagaard is currently funded by\, or recently completed fun
 ded work with: NIH\, the Burroughs Welcome Fund Preterm Birth Initiative\,
  the Gates Foundation/USAIDS (Malawi)\, Thrasher Foundation\, and March of
  Dimes. Their lab work has been previously recognized with receipt of the 
 NIH Directors New Innovator Award (2007) and the Michael E. Debakey Medal 
 for Excellence in Research (2015). Her lab is dedicated to training upcomi
 ng generations of translational scientists\, particularly physician scient
 ists with an interest in identifying molecular mechanisms driving fetal pr
 ogramming and preterm birth.
