Errol Norwitz, MD, is internationally recognized for his work in maternal-fetal medicine, particularly in the causes and prevention of preeclampsia and pre-term labor. His research includes the use of progesterone to delay preterm labor in high-risk women, the genetics of adverse pregnancy outcomes, and the molecular regulation of labor and delivery, both term and preterm. He is the Chair of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Tufts Medical Center, and a professor at Tufts University School of Medicine. He is board certified in Maternal Fetal Medicine and Obstetrics and Gynecology.

2011-2016
Innate Immune Responses of Trophoblasts in Pregnancy.
The major goals of this project are to determine the regulation of TLR-2 and TLR-8 mediated inflammation and apoptosis in the normal first trimester trophoblast in response to bacterial and viral components.
Role: Co-Investigator
NIH/NICHD (P01HD054713)
2009-2014
Program: Function of Toll-Like Receptors Throughout Gestation.
Project: Role of Toll-Like Receptors and Glucocorticoid in Placental-Fetal Inflammation.
The major goals of this project are to understand the function of Toll-like receptors at the maternal-fetal interface throughout gestation, and their role in infection-associated pregnancy complications. These studies will focus on the inflammatory
function of TLRs 3 and 4 in the first trimester placenta (Project I) and the inflammatory function of TLRs 2, 3 and 4 in the decidua (Project II) and term placenta (Project III).
Role: Co-Investigator
Burroughs Wellcome Fund
2009-2010
The Role of Placental Nod-Like Receptors in Infection-Associated Preterm Labor.
The major goals of this project are to determine the function of NLRs in the placenta and their role in infection-associated preterm labor.
Role: Co-Investigator
March of Dimes
2006-2010
Progesterone Receptor Dysregulation and Preterm Birth.
To understand in detail the molecular mechanisms by which progesterone supplementation can prevent preterm birth in some high-risk parturients and, in particular, to characterize the role of the progesterone receptor in spontaneous preterm labor.
Role: Principal Investigator.
Vision Grant Award (Panda)
2008-2009
Preeclampsia Foundation
Role of TLR in Preeclampsia.
The major goal of this project was to delineate the role of TLR in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.
