Research Interests

My present research program addresses the endocrine/paracrine/autocrine events in the mare and stallion that operate to initiate, sustain and regulate reproductive function.

My approach is to investigate the role and mechanism of action of reproductive hormones and factors on inducing a cellular response at the level of the pituitary, gonad and embryo.

Experimental tools and methods that are employed in my laboratory include: radioimmunoassays, ELISA, radioreceptor assays, bioassays, cell cultures, tissue cultures, isolation and purification techniques including HPLC technology, SDS gel electrophoresis, Western and Northern blots, and immunocytochemistry.
