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.
