Lisa Hanson, PhD, RN, CNM, FACNM, FAANMarquette UniversityMilwaukeeWI53201United States of AmericaPhD, Rush University
Dr. Hanson's program of research is on probiotic interventions to reduce antenatal Group B Streptococcus colonization during pregnancy. She also seeks to study how probiotics and prebiotics modify the maternal and infant microbiomes. This work has led her to instrument development for gastrointestinal symptom assessment. She has expertise in clinical trials (double-blind placebo-controlled RCT, quasi-experiment, and open-label) and working with the Food and Drug Administration for Investigation of New Drug Applications. Her program of research involves corporate engagement and collaboration with infectious disease specialist and laboratory and clinical partners.
