MacKenzie Lab
Mission:
Understanding the fundamental mechanisms of maternal-fetal biology in order to develop innovative fetal therapies for genetic diseases and pregnancy complications.
To create a collaborative interdisciplinary research environment to train the next generation of scientists/physicians.
Our Vision:
To translate discoveries in biology and technology into prenatal therapies that will transform medical care for expectant families.
Our Values:
The MacKenzie Lab is a diverse group of scientists from various backgrounds and from all over the world. As such, we approach each other with cultural humility, and we believe...
A gift to the MacKenzie Lab will help us to develop better ways to treat genetic diseases before birth.
