Research Interests

Research interests primarily focus on the elucidation of environmental, genetic and epigenetic causes leading to reproductive failure and developmental failure. More precisely, our research group focuses on the gene-gene and gene-environment interaction leading to idiopathic cases of infertility; role of genetic susceptibility and epigenetic changes in the pathogenesis of PCOS; pathogenic variants and epimutations leading to growth failure.
