My group at the IDRM focuses on understanding how the placental vascular network is created in mice and humans, and how their gene programs are governed. I will generate new genetic tools, use light sheet imaging to characterize placental vascular development, and determine how deletion of placental vascular genes impact congenital heart defects, miscarriage, pre-term birth and stillbirth.
