Research in these areas include:
- The basis of genetic or drug-induced congenital malformations, attempting to prevent birth defects in some of the 150,000 afflicted babies born each year.
- The processes of gametogenesis, egg maturation, embryo implantation, and gonad development, cellular processes that are prime targets for new contraceptive methods and infertility treatments. Other research includes the etiology of germ cell tumors, which are one of the most common tumors arising in children.
