      <image:caption>The Iris Fund is providing the funding to connect critical partners. Dr. Kristin Myers and The Myers Soft Tissue Lab at Columbia University have made great strides in the development of a 3-D digital twin of a woman’s uterus and cervix, helping to better understand how a woman’s body changes in pregnancy.  Dr. Ivan Rosado-Mendez of the Quantitative Ultrasound Lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studies the structure of cervical tissue through physics, examining how light and sound waves visible through an ultrasound machine can help us understand the makeup of the cervix.</image:caption>
