I have a long-lasting interest and expertise in the field of reproductive biology, studying early sex determination, gamets development, and genetic causes of infertility. My research work is aiming to bring new knowledge and deepen my current understanding of the fundamental and novel processes related to reproductive biology. Currently, we are specifically focusing on:
(I) Uterine organogenesis, uterine gland, and extracellular matrix role in establishment and maintenance of pregnancy.
(II) Characterization of novel genes responsible for male infertility.
I have special interest in imaging technologies, particularly 3D imaging of mesoscopic size specimens by e.g. optical projection tomography and multiphoton confocal microscopy. We use these techniques to elucidate the organ function related to its 3D structures.
