  • Area Of Research:Reproductive biology
Our group is interested in characterizing the role of epididymal and testicular proteins in male reproductive physiology. We use classical and modern molecular biology approaches to study the function of these proteins. The role of male reproductive tract proteins is evaluated by using knockout animal model systems.
