Director, Division of Reproductive Sciences
Education: PhD, University of Calcutta, India, 1972

For over forty years I have worked to understand the molecular and genetic bases surrounding embryo implantation and successful pregnancy. I also investigate reproductive cancers.

Shizu Aikawa, PhD
Tohoku University
Graduation year: 2017

I am interested in exploring molecular mechanisms of embryo implantation.

Research Fellow
Education: PhD, Xiamen University, 2013

I am studying the molecular mechanism of embryo implantation and preterm birth.

Yingju Li, PhD
University of South China
Graduation year: 2013

I am studying signaling pathways and their effect on implantation events.

Research Assistant IV
Education: MS, Osaka University, 1997

I support our research with a combination of molecular and cellular techniques, such as DNA/RNA cloning and gene targeting of embryonic stem (ES) cells.

Instructor
Education: BS, Zhejiang University, China, 2002
                  PhD, Vanderbilt University, 2010

I investigate the effects of cannabinoid / endocannabinoid signaling in different pregnancy events spanning from preimplantation embryo development to parturition. I am also interested in studies of signaling pathways on periimplantation events.
