Dr. Smick’s research explores the role of the tumor microenvironment in ovarian cancer, aiming to identify molecular markers for early detection and targeted therapy, and to develop preclinical models for
Gabrielle Rinne will be reviewing findings from her graduate research on the biological, psychological, and social factors before, during, and after pregnancy that influence maternal and child health-relevant outcomes.
Join us for our upcoming Seminar Session! In this interactive presentation, Dr. Allard will share his laboratory’s research focused on identifying environmental exposures that disrupt reproduction and on uncovering the mechanisms through which they act. He will also discuss how developing expertise in reproductive biology can open pathways to contributing to environmental chemical regulation in
Join us for our upcoming Seminar Session! In this presentation, Dr. Quinlan will discuss her lab’s research on how the oocyte is developed and organized to produce a viable gamete. She will walk us from single molecule biochemical studies to whole organism research. At the end, Dr. Quinlan will discuss her lab’s related ongoing research.
