Hanah Georges

Hanah Georges is a Research Fellow in the Abrahams Lab at Yale School of Medicine's Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences. She holds a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from Colorado State University (2021), an MSc in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University (2017), and a BS in Animal Sciences from Texas A&M (2014).

Her research focuses on fetal membrane inflammation mechanisms, viral infections (particularly Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus), and epigenetic modifications in maternal-fetal interactions. Key areas include TLR signaling pathways, microRNA regulation in inflammation, and translational studies linking animal models to human preterm birth risks.

Her work explores how bacterial and viral pathogens trigger sterile inflammation in fetal membranes, with implications for preterm birth prediction. Studies on bovine models reveal long-term immunological and epigenetic consequences of persistent infections on fetal development. Recent publications emphasize TLR8-mediated pathways, miR-146a-3p's role in inflammation, and transcriptomic/proteomic changes in infected tissues.

No scientific awards are listed. She advises no students at present, though her research contributes to collaborative projects in reproductive and veterinary sciences. Her work is conducted within the Abrahams Lab, focusing on translational research bridging basic science and clinical outcomes in obstetrics.
