Research Program Highlights Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The Pediatric Surgery Research laboratory is located within the Price Institute
of Surgical Research under the direction of Dr. Fallat. The primary research
focus has been on high Müllerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) levels linked to
infertility in men and women. The research team includes a full-time
investigator Dr. Siow who is working to answer the question whether MIS plays a
role in polycystic ovary syndrome. Dr. Fallat has written four successfully
funded federal grants on behalf of Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services
to support the development of children's services within the EMS system and to
support trauma system development within Kentucky. Since 1988, she has also
been the Trauma Chief at Kosair Children's Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky, a
225-bed free-standing regional referral center and the only children's hospital
in the State of Kentucky. She has continuously been involved in the Emergency
Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program in the State of Kentucky since
1992, and is the Project Director for the EMSC Partnership Grant to Kentucky.
