Our translational research teams bring discovery science and clinical care together to improve health. 📈

A new study led by Matt Rand, PhD, in collaboration with OB/GYN Lorelei Thornberg, MD, will examine how pregnancy and the gut microbiome may help the body eliminate methylmercury before it reaches the fetus.

The work builds on decades of University of Rochester-led research, including a study that helped shift thinking about fish consumption during pregnancy. Even still, guidance remains confusing and often deters fish intake—potentially limiting nutrients critical for fetal brain development.

✅ This research aims to provide clearer, evidence-based guidance by better understanding how the body naturally protects the developing brain.
