HiLIFE Webinar: Renata Prunskaite-Hyryläinen
Reveled function of novel testes genes and glimpse to 3D uterine morphology
Renata has a long-lasting interest and expertise in the field of reproductive biology, studying early sex determination, gamet development, and genetic causes of infertility. Her research work is aiming to bring new knowledge and deepen current understanding of the fundamental and novel processes related to reproductive biology. Currently her group is specifically focusing on: (I) Uterine organogenesis, uterine gland and extracellular matrix role in establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. (II) Characterization of novel genes responsible for male fertility.
