Research Interests
The research conducted in my laboratory aims at understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead to alterations of the epigenome, especially misregulation of imprinted genes, as a result of procedures commonly used during assisted reproduction in humans and animals (e.g. ovarian hyperstimulation, in vitro fertilization, intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection, embryo culture, and embryo transfer).
