Mon programme de recherche est principalement ciblé sur la reproduction humaine, l'infertilité féminine et l'immunologie de la reproduction. Je m'intéresse particulièrement à la compréhension des processus physiopathologiques des maladies gynécologiques pouvant affecter l'infertilité, l'endométriose en particulier, et au développement de nouvelles avenues thérapeutiques ciblées. Mes recherches s'adressent aussi à la grossesse, à l'implantation et au développement embryonnaire.
