Research Focus and Special Interests
My current research logically builds upon my prior work on endometriosis pathophysiology, genetics, and endometriosis in vitro and animal models, respectively.  My long-term scientific goal is to elucidate the pathogenesis of endometriosis and investigate the mechanisms of action of anti-inflammatory agents in this immunoinflammatory disorder and develop alternative, novel treatments with higher efficacy and fewer side effects.
