UTMB and Texas A&M to test safety of drugs during pregnancy
The Galveston County Daily News, June 24, 2024
UTMB and Texas A&M University are partnering to create tools that replicate female organs involved in pregnancy to allow medical drug testing for pregnant women. “If you go to Walgreens and look at their pharmacy aisle and pick up an over-the-counter drug, it may say ‘not tested in pregnancy,’” Dr. Ramkumar Menon told the Daily News. “We have developed a way to test both the mother and baby in a lab environment.”
