Area(s) of expertise
Reproductive biology, Parturition, Preterm birth, Myometrial biology, Extracellular matrix
BIO
My research interests are always centered around reproductive biology. Throughout my career, I have investigated various reproductive processes, such as ovarian follicular development, in vitro embryo development, embryo implantation, endometrial decidualization, cervical remodeling, myometrial function, and steroid hormone regulation. The current focus of my laboratory is to understand the structure and function of the extracellular matrix in the uterus during pregnancy and parturition. My laboratory utilizes physiologically relevant, genetically engineered mouse models, as well as genomic, proteomic, tissue biomechanical, and imaging techniques to address various research questions.
