Research interests

As a lecturer, my focus is on undergraduate teaching in the areas of physiology and cell biology.  My expertise is in reproductive biology, including ovarian function, pregnancy and the dialogue between the developing fetus and its mother.  In both teaching and research, I ask questions at the cellular and molecular level to understand the physiology of the whole animal.  I bring to my teaching a background in the applications of physiology, in the contexts of human and veterinary medicine, and agricultural science.
