Indriati Hood-Pishchany, MD, PhD

Dr. Indriati Hood-Pishchany is an Assistant Professor of Pediatric Infectious Diseases. Dr. Hood Pishchany’s research focuses on microbial ecology in the vaginal microbiome. The scientific and medical communities have gained increasing understanding of the vast populations of microbes living in and on the human body, and the potential roles for these microbes in health and disease. The vaginal microbiome is associated with a number of important health outcomes in women and their offspring, impacting risk for sexually transmitted infections, like HIV, and risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes, like preterm birth.
