Area of Expertise: Dr. Moalli co-directs the Translational Research Laboratories in Urogynecology – an interdisciplinary group that that develops biomimetic biointeractive biomaterials for improving outcomes of urogynecologic surgeries. Over the last decade, her research has included understanding the pathogenesis of synthetic mesh complications which cause significant morbidity in affected women and have been the target of litigation world-wide; the development of novel regenerative materials that can be used to repair pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence; characterization and activation of endogenous vaginal stem cell populations and vaginal biofabrication. Additional research interests include mechanisms of maternal birth injury and improving outcomes in women injured during childbirth.
Other Interests: Based on declining numbers of Obstetrics and Gynecology physician scientists, Dr. Moalli is committed to developing and sponsoring a pipeline to this fulfilling career path. As such, she developed the first MD-MS program for incoming medical students in medical innovation with a focus on students pursuing careers in Ob/Gyn.
