Internationally Recognized Expert in Preterm Birth and Antenatal Corticosteroids Brings Extensive Experience to Academic Medical Center

A board-certified perinatologist, Dr. Gyamfi-Bannerman is the Chair and Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the UC San Diego School of Medicine. Joining UC San Diego in July 2021, she is internationally recognized for her expertise in managing high-risk pregnancies, with a particular focus on preventing preterm birth and utilizing antenatal corticosteroids.

With a robust academic background, she completed a fellowship in maternal-fetal medicine at The Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Hospital, and earned her medical degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine. She also holds a master’s degree in biostatistics, which she pursued during her time at Columbia University.

Her commitment to advancing maternal-fetal medicine is exemplified by her extensive research and clinical trial work, which has significantly contributed to the understanding and prevention of preterm birth. As a National Institutes of Health-funded researcher, she has published numerous articles in prestigious peer-reviewed journals, including JAMA and the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Her groundbreaking research has garnered her invitations to speak at conferences around the world, further solidifying her status as a leader in the field.

Before her tenure at UC San Diego Health, Dr. Gyamfi-Bannerman served as a professor at Columbia University, where she held the position of vice chair for faculty development. In this role, she was instrumental in mentoring the next generation of medical professionals, overseeing the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Fellowship Training Program, and enhancing the program’s diversity.

Moreover, her leadership extends to her role as President of the Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine, representing over 5,500 maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Her accolades include multiple awards for research excellence and a distinguished election to the American Gynecological and Obstetrical Society. 

In her free time, Dr. Gyamfi-Bannerman enjoys exploring the scenic hiking trails and beautiful beaches of San Diego with her family, embracing the vibrant community she now calls home.
