Research Focus
Dr. Aditya N Bade's research lab at the University of Nebraska Medical Center focuses on understanding the effects of antiretroviral drugs, particularly during pregnancy. The lab investigates how these drugs might impact neurodevelopment and placental health in both the mother and fetus, especially in the context of co-exposure to substances like nicotine. Their goal is to find safer medication strategies that improve health outcomes for pregnant women living with HIV.
