Detroit Hub highlights research at Wayne and DMC that saves at-risk babies

A column highlighting work being done at Wayne State University and the Detroit Medical Center’s Hutzel Woman’s Hospital to save the lives of at-risk babies, includes a testimonial from Detroiter Kai Paul, who found out she was at a high risk for her baby being born prematurely and possibly with severe health problems. Fortunately, she became part of a groundbreaking clinical trial at WSU and the Perinatology Research Branch that enabled her to deliver a full-term, healthy baby boy who celebrated his second birthday this past February. Paul credits the PRB with saving the life of her son. Dr. Sonia Hassan, associate dean for maternal, perinatal and child health in Wayne State University’s School of Medicine, said so far the team has cared for more than 20,000 mothers and plans to continue to serve the population of Metro Detroit and beyond. A photo of Hassan is included.
