Research Areas
Mechanisms of trophoblast cell differentiation
Investigate which genes and gene networks are responsible for the differentiation, proliferation, and migration of trophoblast cells, which give rise to the placenta, forming the maternal-fetal interface required for optimal progression of pregnancy.
Mechanisms of maternal recognition of pregnancy
Examine how the embryo communicates with the mother during early pregnancy, which could provide methods to improve pregnancy rates.
Mechanisms of embryo development
Investigate preimplantation and the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy
Placental development and function
Utilize in vitro cell culture and in vivo transgenic approaches to examine specific gene function in the placenta, and how aberrant expression of these genes results in functional placental insufficiency. Functional placental insufficiency is a primary determinant of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR).
Maternal-fetal interactions and fetal gr
