Research Interests

Our laboratory studies uterine biology in mice and man particularity as it relates to embryo implantation. One ongoing interest of the laboratory is determining the role of specific genes in the differentiation of endometrial fibroblasts into decidual cells. Other interests include studying interactions between the conceptus and components of the endometrium (immune, vascular endothelial, decidual cells) during implantation and placental development.
