Why Women’s Health?
Our group has been collaborating with Dr. Wendy Kuohung, Dr. Robin Ingalls and Dr. Joyce Wong to study molecular events that contribute to infertility. As part of these studies we have been investigating sexually transmitted infection induced damage to fallopian tube epithelium, with the goal of understanding defective regenerative responses and signals that are linked to infertility.
