Greening the OR with Dr. Paige Fox

DYK that one-quarter to one-half of all hospital waste is generated by the OR? Dr. Paige Fox, an Associate Professor in our Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery is trying to change that. She talks to us about her endeavor to green the OR using a method that she has shown works in different hospital settings and for different types of operations. In addition to her sustainability work, Dr. Fox also operates a wet lab doing basic science and is the Director of Stanford’s PRS Residency Program. She gives us an update on her biosensor collaboration with Stanford School of Engineering legend Dr. Zhenan Bao (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41928-018-0071-7) and has advice for MS4s entering Match 2024.
