Research

I am researching on the reproductive decline in advanced maternal age focusing my attention in the specific role of the uterus sustaining the correct embryo development.  In parallel, as part of the WT "Deciphering the Mechanisms of Developmental Disorders" consortium, I am conducting a systematic screen for placental defects in embryonic lethal mouse mutants.  This will, for the first time, provide a global overview of the collection of genes that are jointly necessary to make a functional placenta.
