Research in our laboratory investigates cellular and molecular mechanisms at the fetal-maternal interface responsible for human placental development in health and disease, and those responsible for invasion and metastasis in breast cancer with a goal to prevent certain fetal-maternal maladies, and to develop new modes of breast cancer therapy.

Our lab currently has three major areas of interest:

1. Biology of feto-maternal relationship

2. Mechanisms in Nitric Oxide (NO) and Prostaglandin E (PGE)2 mediated breast cancerprogression

3. Human placenta as a model for tumor progression
