Dr. Maron received her undergraduate degree from Harvard University, and she holds an MD and MPH degree from Tulane University.

In this episode…

When babies are sick, they can't describe their symptoms, so you need another way of assessing what's wrong. Drawing blood is one option for diagnosing problems, but sticking newborns with needles over and over can be traumatic — and might have long-lasting adverse effects. A less invasive method of identifying issues is through saliva — but what can spit actually tell us about the health of a baby?

Dr. Jill L. Maron, Executive Director of the Mother Infant Research Institute at Tufts Medical Center, claims that a small drop of spit can tell us quite a bit. She's been at the forefront of salivary diagnostics in neonatal care for the past 15 years and is currently researching to see if saliva can be used to diagnose infections. According to Dr. Maron, biofluid will remain a part of diagnostics well into the future as she and other saliva investigators continue to advance the field.

In this episode of the Measure Success Podcast, Carl J. Cox talks with Dr. Jill L. Maron, Executive Director of the Mother Infant Research Institute at Tufts Medical Center, about using salivary diagnostics in neonatal care. Dr. Maron explains how salivary diagnostics have evolved over the last 15 years, why she became interested in studying saliva, and where her current research is focused. Plus, Dr. Maron and Carl J. Cox discuss sports, books, and their grandmothers. Stay tuned!
