Biography

Scott Michael Gordon, MD, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in Neonatology and Newborn Services. He is affiliated with the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Abramson Pediatric Research Center. His research focuses on the maternal immune system and how it communicates with the developing placenta. Gordon's work aims to understand the role of the maternal-fetal interface, which has historically been considered immune-privileged, in relation to pregnancy health. His research addresses critical health issues such as preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, congenital infections, and premature birth. Gordon is also involved in innovative laboratory studies to elucidate the signaling molecules that mediate interactions between maternal immune cells and fetal cells, with the goal of improving outcomes in high-risk pregnancies.
