Research Interests

Cellular and Molecular Physiology; Reproductive Physiology. Patch clamp and fluorescence imaging techniques are used to investigate regulation of transmembrane ion transport in ovarian cells in relation to follicular development. In addition, the roles of extracellular matrix proteins in ovarian function are being studied.
