About
Dr. Mirabel Jensen studies how signaling peptides govern fetal development at Stanford. Her placental peptide transfer models have redefined our understanding of maternal-fetal peptide communication.
Summary
Developed the first comprehensive atlas of peptide signaling during human fetal organogenesis.
Key Lessons
An unexpected placental peptide accumulation pattern in her first doctoral study shifted her entire research focus toward translational barriers in fetal peptide therapy.
