GENERAL OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY
A full range of general obstetrical and gynecological services ranging from outpatient
care to surgery, and from routine visits to complicated consultations.
Specialized research and interest areas include:
GYNECOLOGIC ONCOLOGY
Provides counseling, medical, and surgical services to patients requiring special treatment of benign and malignant diseases and tumors of the female reproductive tract.
MATERNAL-FETAL MEDICINE
Maternal-Fetal Medicine specializes in assisting women requiring high-risk care and is committed to being a Center for Excellence in Women's Health. Maternal-Fetal Medicine provides state of the art services in high-risk obstetrics and medical complications of pregnancy.
REPRODUCTIVE ENDOCRINOLOGY, INFERTILITY, AND GENETICS
Reproductive Endocrinology, Infertility and Genetics specializes in a wide range of clinical problems ranging from aberrations of puberty through infertility and menopause. Specific programs related to in vitro fertilization, PMS, menopause and pediatric gynecology are part of this broad-based clinical service. The clinical effort is supported by laboratories in reproductive biology and cytogenetics. A major component of these services involves preconceptional and prenatal genetic diagnosis.
FEMALE PELVIC MEDICINE AND RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY
Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery specializes in providing academic education and laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgery for most gynecology indications including complete laparoscopic hysterectomy and minimally invasive procedures for incontinence and vaginal prolapse.
CENTER FOR BIOTECHNOLOGY AND GENOMIC MEDICINE
Established in the summer of 2002, the Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine (CBGM) was developed to promote interdisciplinary and translational research in Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine with the ultimate goal of promoting predictive, preventive, personalized and participatory (4P) medicine.
The Center's research efforts focus on two main areas: 1) discovery and validation of biomarkers for disease prediction and diagnosis, 2) pharmacomics and drug discovery for personalized medicine.

Dr. Richard A. McIndoe, bioinformatics expert and associate director of the Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine at the Medical College of Georgia, is leading a $6.2 million federally funded initiative to support highly innovative research ideas in three areas with tremendous impact on health.
African American women are almost three times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause than white women in Georgia. Black mothers in rural areas of Georgia are at an even higher risk.
Children as young as 8 can be vaccinated against HPV, which is the top defense against cervical cancer. Dr. Sharad Ghamande and his research team at the Georgia Cancer Center at Augusta University are conducting trials aimed at prevention.
How well women with cervical cancer respond to treatment and survive correlates with the level of 10 proteins in their blood that also are associated with a “zombie” cell state called senescence, Medical College of Georgia scientists report.
