Research Areas
Women's Health Technologies
This program advances innovative technology, modeling and experiments to advance our understanding of women’s reproductive health from fertilization to post-delivery outcomes. Faculty also employ imaging, modeling, and experiments to advance basic science and our clinical understanding of gynecologic oncology including cancers of the cervix, uterus and ovaries. Our goal is to develop new technologies to complement the already strong research and clinical activities in our community.
