When Dr. Allen Wilcox joined the National Institutes of Health 37 years ago fresh out of medical school, the research area of reproductive epidemiology was essentially a blank slate. But in the decades since, his groundbreaking studies on fertility, pregnancy and reproduction have come to define the field. Wilcox is a finalist in the career achievement category for the 2016 Service to America medals. On Federal Drive with Tom Temin, he talked about his work with Federal News Radio’s Jared Serbu, including an ongoing study trying to understand the causes of Cerebral Palsy.
