Our research aims to deepen the understanding of placental biology by identifying genes essential for normal development and examining the impact of placental abnormalities on maternal health and fetal outcomes. Additionally, we seek to establish connections between changes in structural, functional, and molecular profiles during the cardiovascular transition at birth and the manifestation of congenital heart diseases in mouse models. Utilizing advanced imaging technologies and innovative methodologies, our goal is to pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries in developmental biology, disease progression, and regenerative medicine.
