Excited to share that we have received an NIH R01 (R01ES038182) to study how micro- and nanoplastics influence preterm birth. This project will define how MNPs accumulate across pregnancy and reshape placental microenvironments. @BCMFromtheLabs @TexasChildrens #microplastics

The launch of the ARPA-H STOMP program and the EPA/HHS move to evaluate microplastics as drinking water contaminants represent a major shift in how the federal government views this issue. For the first time, microplastics are being treated as an imminent human health risk

Proud lab moment at Society for Reproductive Investigation in San Juan—Myla Stanford won an Outstanding Poster Award! I presented on placental microplastics in preterm birth; Momal Sharif on MNPs in endometrial polyps. Thanks to our collaborators @unmcop #SRI @BCMFromtheLabs

Super proud of Lexie and Noah for their outstanding presentations at The Pregnancy Meeting #SMFM26 @BCMFromtheLabs @TCHFetalCenter

Super proud of Myla Stanford‘s outstanding talk on our development of MNP exposure models in placental and immune cells. | Looking forward to understanding how specific MNPs impact cells at the maternal-fetal interface @BCMFromtheLabs @TCHResearchNews

Delighted to attended the 1st Microplastics Exposure and Human Health Conference. Grateful to share our collaborative work with REI and @UNMHSC identifying risks associated with specific MNPs, fertility rate, and endometrial pathology @BCMFromtheLabs @TCHResearchNews

Join the Gulf Coast Center for Precision Environmental Health (GC-CPEH) Community Engagement Core, in collaboration with UTMB's Sealy Center for Environmental Health & Medicine and the Health Museum, for a free event: conversation on "Placenta-lly Polluted? From World to Womb”

What an incredible moment at TFRS! Even though a few folks were missing, we couldn’t miss the chance to snap an awesome Lab photo! 📸✨

Absolutely thrilled by the 4 incredible Barrozo Lab presentations at the 30th Annual Texas Forum for Reproductive Sciences! What an amazing opportunity to showcase our work! @BCMFromtheLabs @TCHResearchNews

Excited to have shared our latest findings at #SRI2025 during the Fetal Physiology Satellite Session on Innovative Approaches to Fetal Immune Cell Development

📢 #Preterm placentas had higher levels of micro- & nanoplastics vs. term placentas, warranting further investigation on the impact on fetal development & pregnancy outcomes. 🤰♀️ #SMFM25 @MySMFM @Barrozophd @bcmhouston @TexasChildrens @BCMFromTheLabs healio.com/news/womens-he…

A paper on microplastics accumulating in the brain was just published @NatureMedicine, open-access nature.com/articles/s4159… I review the background and major implications in a new Ground Truths edition (link in my profile)

At #SMFM25, we presented data showing significantly higher total and specific microplastics in placentas from preterm births vs. term deliveries. Future studies will investigate causality. @TCHResearchNews @BCMFromtheLabs Read more in The Guardian: theguardian.com/environment/20…

Glad to share that my lab is growing! Check out our new members and bios here: bcm.edu/research/facul…

🎉BIG NEWS! 🎉 Pearland Junior High South has been awarded the CCEF (Community Career + Education Forum) Educational STEM Grant to support the “STEAM Odyssey: Empowering Future Scientists” project!🔬🚀 Photographed📸: Mrs. Mara Barrozo (Teacher at PJHS) #BuildPearlandProud

A wonderful time at The Society for Reproductive Investigation in beautiful Vancouver! #SRI2024 @BCMFromtheLabs @TCHResearchNews @SRIWomensHealth

Glad to see our collaborative study bringing attention to an important environmental issue. Do microplastic levels correlate with clinical metadata and outcomes? Stay tuned @BCMFromtheLabs @TCHResearchNews @BCMSuperfund

The Environmental Health Disparities Centers of Excellence Annual Meeting at the @NIEHS was outstanding. Grateful to make new connections with colleagues that share a passion for environmental justice and health equity @BCMFromtheLabs @TCHResearchNews @BCMSuperfund
