Professor Park's research explores the molecular pathways of spontaneous preterm birth, the relationships between maternal and fetal inflammatory responses, and between neonatal morbidities and placental inflammation. Professor Park also seeks to identify novel and non-invasive screening technologies and interventions for spontaneous preterm birth. Notably, he has completed important work on furthering our understanding of necrotizing chorioamnionitis, a very unique histologic feature that he has examined extensively.
