Biography

Jamie O. Lo, M.D., M.C.R. is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ob/Gyn and Department of Urology at OHSU, a Core Scientist at the Oregon National Primate Research Center (ONPRC), and adjunct faculty in the College of Public Health at the University of Georgia. Originally from Oregon, she attended the University of California, Berkeley majoring in Molecular Cell Biology (Immunology) and Asian American Studies. After graduating, she attended medical school at OHSU and completed her obstetrics and gynecology residency at the University of Utah. She received her fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine at OHSU as well as a Masters in Clinical Research.

 As a physician-scientist, her efforts encompass clinical care, education, and clinical and translational research. Dr. Lo’s research examines the effects of environmental exposures, especially substance use, on reproductive health and offspring outcomes. Her research is supported by the NIH and large foundations, including the March of Dimes and the Silver Family Foundation. Dr. Lo is the Co-Director of PMedIC (Pacific Northwest Biomedical Innovation Co-Laboratory), a joint research collaboration between OHSU and the US Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. She is also the Recruitment Director for OHSU’s NIH/NICHD Women’s Reproductive Health Research (WRHR) K12 Program and the Assistant OB/Gyn Residency Program Director - Research and Scholarship. Dr. Lo is the Chair of the Society for Reproductive Investigation Grants Committee, the Deputy Editor for the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Maternal-Fetal Medicine, and also serves on the Publications Committee for the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, collaborating with Maternal-Fetal Medicine providers across the United States on developing guidelines for clinical practice.
