Jessica L Nyholm

Jessica L Nyholm serves as Associate Professor in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women's Health with a specialization in Maternal Fetal Medicine at a metropolitan university-based academic medical center, contributing to clinical care and research in high-risk pregnancy management.

Her research program centers on Maternal-Fetal Medicine with emphases on Infectious Diseases in Pregnancy (particularly cytomegalovirus and STIs), Fetal Cardiology anomalies, Prenatal Education methodologies, and Perinatal Infection prevention. She investigates critical gaps in prenatal counseling, fetal surveillance techniques, and infectious disease management to improve maternal-infant outcomes.

Analysis of her publications reveals consistent focus on translational research bridging clinical practice and patient education, particularly regarding cytomegalovirus awareness, STI management during pregnancy, fetal cardiac defect detection, and intrapartum monitoring protocols. Her work demonstrates strong alignment with evidence-based obstetric practices.

Dr. Nyholm leads significant externally funded research including a Gates Foundation/Minnesota Department of Health-sponsored GBS protection study (2019-2021) as Principal Investigator and an NIH-funded investigation into postpartum smoking relapse prevention (2020-2025) as Co-Investigator, demonstrating her capacity to secure competitive federal and foundation funding for maternal-child health initiatives.
