Scientific Focus
Research Interests
Pregnancies after infertility: prospectively collecting serum and consent for outcomes research in all women with history of infertility or recurrent miscarriage. Planned projects include evaluation of testosterone levels in relationship to fertility treatments, prospective study on pregnancy outcomes of women with PCOS compared to other women undergoing fertility treatments, miscarriage rates with different diagnoses and treatments.
Karyotypes of miscarriages: collecting karyotype information, ultrasound findings and clinical characteristics on patients miscarrying undergoing D&Cs. Over 350 karyotypes already entered. Objective: to evaluate subsequent pregnancy outcomes and utility of workup for recurrent pregnancy loss in setting of normal and abnormal karyotypes.
Unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss and immune changes. Objective: analyzing peripheral blood and RNA by micro array analysis in women with and without unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss during the luteal phase of the menstrual and early pregnancy.
