Research Interests:

 

Active laboratory research was discontinued in 1999 pursuant to move from 3rd floor John Morgan Bldg to 13th floor BRB II/III. Writeup of research results from the laboratory continued until early 2001. Areas of research covered in those studies may be inferred from the list of publications below. Present activity includes acting as reviewer for J Andrology, Biology of Reproduction, Human Reproducton Update, Cryobiology, Reproduction, Molecular Reproduction & Development, Molecular Human Reproduction; collaboration with colleagues on papers and grant applications.
