Lecturer
Northwestern University
My name is Lindsey N Block, PhD and I work in the Center for Reproductive Sciences at Northwestern University. Current health issues drive my research. My Ph.D. thesis focused on the impact of Zika viral infection during pregnancy as the epidemic had just spread through South America and parts of North America. My postdoctoral research focused on identifying biomarkers of preterm birth as well as studying the effects of obesity during pregnancy. Currently, I am a lecturer in CRS where train students how to conduct research through hands-on laboratory training.
