Imaging Transport Across the Maternal-Fetal Barrier
When combined with contrast agents, photoacoustic imaging can be used to investigate the transport of key molecules across the placental barrier. For example, placental transport of folate, a critical nutrient for development, may be altered in the presence of specific medications. How the presence of specific medications changes the folate available to the fetus is being studied with our imaging techniques. This work is funded by a Research Competitiveness Subprogram grant from the Louisiana Board of Regents.
