About us

The Loke Centre for Trophoblast Research (Loke CTR) is an internationally recognized centre of excellence committed to advancing the scientific study of the placenta, early development, and maternal-fetal interactions.

We facilitate groundbreaking research, nurture the next generation of trophoblast scientists, and foster collaborative research efforts within the University to integrate basic and clinical sciences. Our research mission is to understand normal placental development and the mechanisms leading to common placentally-related complications of fertility and pregnancy.
