Assistant Professor
Massachusetts General Hospital
Dr. Shook is a Maternal-Fetal Medicine subspecialist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and a Physician Investigator at the Vincent Center for Reproductive Biology. The broad goal of her research is to better understand how prenatal exposures impact long-term offspring cardiometabolic disease risk. Her work seeks to understand the role of the placenta in mediating the crosstalk between mother and fetus during pregnancy. As the co-director of the Diabetes in Pregnancy Program at MGH, she also conducts patient-oriented research to improve the health of pregnant individuals with diabetes and their newborns. Her work is supported by the Transdisciplinary Harvard WRHR (Women’s Reproductive Health Research) Career Development Award for Gynecologists and Obstetricians (NIH/NICHD).
