About this episode
This episode discusses the potential for early diagnostic tests to predict preterm labor, featuring an interview with Zhenya Lindgardt, CEO of Sera.
Every year, 1 in 10 babies in the U.S. are born too soon, and at least 50% of preterm births happen without any early indicators or warning. But what if we could predict preterm labor earlier and more accurately? In this episode, we sit down with Zhenya Lindgardt, CEO of Sera , a company developing an early diagnostic test that can identify risk for preterm labor at a better rate than traditional solutions, and perhaps change the story for millions of moms and babies. Nerd out with us and learn about pregnancy proteins, clinical trials, and the long road to making new discoveries.
