Current research focuses on the gene regulation of the uterine endometrium and endometrium related disorders such as preeclampsia, endometriosis, PCOS and heavy menstrual bleeding. To better understand the uterine biology and the roles of specific uterine cell types I utilize transcriptomics, steroidomics and computational biology tools.
