Irina Burd is the Sylvan Frieman, MD Endowed Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Science at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, Maryland. She is known for her work on the mechanisms by which maternal infection and placental inflammation affect fetal neuroimmune and immune development.
Education and career
Burd graduated from Rutgers University in 1995, and then earned a Ph.D. and M.D. from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in 2003. In 2023 she was named the Sylvan Frieman, MD Endowed Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences.[1]
From 2021 until 2023 she was the president of the American Society for Reproductive Immunology,[2] and in 2022 the society presented her with an award for distinguished service.[3]
Burd's research examines the transmission of disease, including, for example, her investigation into the transmission of the Zika virus.[4]
