Calling all passionate communicators and creative minds!
Prematurity (i.e., preterm birth and its related outcomes) is the leading cause of neonatal and childhood
mortality worldwide, disproportionately affecting women of color in California. Unfortunately, despite years of
traditional medical research, very little progress has been realized. The Preterm Birth Initiative (PTBi) at UCSF is
a highly-collaborative, transdisciplinary, Cell-to-Society research program that aims to manage and reduce the
risks of preterm birth. This donor-funded transdisciplinary research program is comprised of a domestic arm
(“PTBi-CA”, funded by Marc and Lynne Benioff, administered through the Dept of Ob/Gyn & RS), and a global
arm (“PTBi-East Africa”, funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, administered through the Institute for
Global Health Sciences).
