Ovarian Biology
About this Laboratory
Our laboratory is broadly interested in the roles that hormones and TGFβ superfamily members play in regulating ovarian development, function, and disease. Our overall aims are to contribute to the understanding of female reproductive biology and to develop novel contraceptive methods and treatments for infertility and ovarian cancers.

Current Research
Hormonal regulation of folliculogenesis - Our current work is determining the detailed mechanisms of how hormones and local ovarian factors interact to regulate ovulation.
Developmental origins of infertility disorders and ovarian disease - The focus of this project is determining the regulatory factors that control the development of immature oocytes and the establishment of the primordial follicular pool, both of which impact upon adult reproductive capacity.
