Dr. James Roberts has made seminal contributions to the understanding of the physiology of pregnancy, and, in particular, to the mechanisms of disease responsible for preeclampsia. His research includes endothelial cell dysfunction, oxidative stress, and other factors that play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia; the use of antioxidant therapy to prevent the syndrome; identification of clinical subtypes of preeclampsia; and assessment of the long-term cardiovascular risk of the disorder. Dr. Roberts is currently an investigator at the Magee-Womens Research Institute and a Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences, Endocrinology, and Clinical and Translational Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh. He was the founding Director of the Magee-Womens Research Institute, and formerly the Elsie Hilliard Hillman Chair in Women’s and Infants’ Health Research at the University of Pittsburgh. For his many original contributions to the understanding of preeclampsia and other obstetrical syndromes, Dr. Roberts is herein recognized as a “Giant in Obstetrics and Gynecology.”
詹姆斯·罗伯茨博士在理解妊娠生理学方面做出了开创性的贡献，特别是在导致子痫前期的疾病机制方面。他的研究包括内皮细胞功能障碍、氧化应激和其他在子痫前期发病机制中起作用的因素；抗氧化治疗的应用以预防该综合征；识别子痫前期的临床亚型；以及评估该疾病的长期心血管风险。罗伯茨博士目前是 Magee-Womens 研究所的研究员，也是匹兹堡大学妇产科、生殖科学、内分泌学以及临床和转化医学的教授。他曾是 Magee-Womens 研究所的创始主任，也是匹兹堡大学 Elsie Hilliard Hillman 妇女和婴儿健康研究主席。由于他对理解子痫前期和其他产科综合征的许多原创贡献，罗伯茨博士在此被公认为“妇产科巨人”。
