Overview

Theo D. Palmer is affiliated with Stanford University in the United States. Their research spans multiple disciplines primarily within Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology, as well as Medicine. Their work encompasses genetics, molecular biology, immunology, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics, perinatology, and child health.

The main topics covered in their research include congenital heart defects, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, genomic variations and chromosomal abnormalities, reproductive system and pregnancy, pregnancy and preeclampsia studies, birth, development, and health, and the role of microRNA in disease regulation.

Their recent papers include:

  • Examining Sex Differences in the Human Placental Transcriptome During the First Fetal Androgen Peak (2020) published in Reproductive Sciences
  • 16p11.2 microdeletion imparts transcriptional alterations in human iPSC-derived models of early neural development (2020) published in eLife
  • An evolutionarily acquired microRNA shapes development of mammalian cortical projections (2020) published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • Gestationally dependent immune organization at the maternal-fetal interface (2022) published in Cell Reports
  • Custom-engineered hydrogels for delivery of human iPSC-derived neurons into the injured cervical spinal cord (2023) published in Biomaterials

Theo D. Palmer frequently collaborates with several coauthors, including Kristin Muench, Carol Charlton, Julien G. Roth, A. R. Moore, and Nora Vivanco Gonzalez.

Their publications are regularly featured in notable venues, with multiple works published in bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Other publication venues include Reproductive Sciences, eLife, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and Cell Reports.
