Neonatologist, USA
Biography
Jeffrey Karsdon completed his medical education at the Free University of Brussels, Belgium. After completing his pediatric residency in New York and his neonatology fellowship in San Francisco he worked at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands for 7 years before returning back to the united states. He is a clinical neonatologist and scientist with a passion for preventing preterm birth. His innovative approach to inhibiting the uterine contractions of a preterm birth with an electrical pacemaker is a paradigm shift in preventing preterm birth. It allows for a very localized and rapid inhibitory effect with no systemic side-effects. He is pioneering the way to an electroceutical tocolytic and into a new era of interventional uterine electrophysiology. His unique method of inhibiting smooth muscle contractions and tone paves the way for treating other pathologies caused by increased smooth muscle tone
