Research efforts in the lab focus on factors that are important and necessary for proper placental development and function, which is critical for embryo and fetal development and survival. Currently the regulation of androgen signaling by histone modifying enzymes in the placenta is under investigation. Normal placental development and function is essential for pregnancy maintenance, maternal health, and proper fetal tissue programming and postnatal health of the offspring.
