Our laboratory studies the regulation of innate and adaptive immunity during pregnancy using a combination of biochemical, molecular and immunological approaches in human specimens and mouse models. Our research is critical to understanding and treating many pregnancy diseases and improving the quality of life of mothers and babies.
