Today we are joined by Dr. Gisele Calderon, PhD, a research associate at the Hakim lab at Baylor University College of Medicine, where she is working to develop several new technologies related to women's health. In particular, we discuss the work being done to develop vaginal stents to promote healing of the vaginal tissue after surgery or from vaginal stenosis. We also discuss her groundbreaking work in developing a "vagina on a chip", a laboratory vaginal analog using real vaginal cells that can be used as a testbed for new therapeutics.
