Research interests
During my PhD I have investigated the mechanism of IgG transport into cervico-vaginal secretions and how this process is influenced by the reproductive cycle. This work has very strongly sparked my interest to further study the biology of the female reproductive tract. I have therefore moved on to investigate the expression of voltage-gated potassium channels in pregnant human myometrium and how these proteins can be targeted for tocolytic approaches against preterm uterine contractility.
