Dr. Duzyj completed her BS in Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Michigan (2001). She obtained her medical and public health degrees at Columbia University (2006), and subsequently completed her Obstetrics and Gynecology (2010) and Maternal-Fetal Medicine training (2013) at Yale School of Medicine.

Dr. Duzyj's primary clinical interest is surgical complications in pregnancy, including management of patients with placenta accreta spectrum, prior abdominal surgery, uterine fibroids, bleeding disorders or other pathologies requiring interdisciplinary management for surgical delivery. To complement this clinical interest, Dr. Duzyj's research program is focused on the molecular characterization of post-cesarean uterine scar and its contribution to abnormal placentation. 

Dr. Duzyj serves on the Education committee and serves as a State Advocacy Liaison for the Society of Maternal-Fetal Medicine. She’s also an Assistant Professor at Harvard Medical School.

Research

I am a principal investigator of the mechanism of post-cesarean uterine scar formation and its contribution to placenta accreta formation. My areas of focus have been on the role of extracellular matrix deposition in uterine scar on trophoblast mobility, as well as investigating non-invasive imaging modalities for evaluating scar integrity.  

I have a clinical interest in post-surgical care and a particular interest in transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation to reduce post-operative opioid use.  I also have clinical research interests in management of postpartum hemorrhage, obstetric patient safety bundle implementation, and team training to improve obstetric outcomes.
