Postdoctoral Associate
University of Pittsburgh/Magee-Womens Research Institute
I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Dr. Mellissa Mann's Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms regulating genomic imprinting during gametogenesis and early embryonic development. Currently, I am investigating how assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) alter maternal-effect genes in oocytes, leading to imprinted methylation errors in embryos, using a mouse model system.
