OverviewAI-generated summary
Luis Mercado's research focuses on maternal and fetal health, utilizing advanced imaging and machine learning techniques. He investigates the influence of maternal health conditions, such as pregestational diabetes, on fetal development and autonomic nervous system function. His work also explores the correlation between maternal inflammatory markers and brain-derived neurotrophic factor with fetal brain activity, using methodologies like magnetoencephalography and fetal magnetocardiography. Mercado has also examined factors affecting fetal heart rate dynamics, including fetal sex. Additionally, his research extends to non-invasive assessments of pelvic floor muscle strength. He has published 15 papers, with an h-index of 4 and 51 total citations. Mercado collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, including Diana Escalona‐Vargas, Hari Eswaran, Heather Moody, and Sallie S. Oliphant.
