Shaping a healthier future through pregnancy physiology research
The Gomes Laboratory studies comparative pregnancy physiology and developmental programming in an effort to shape healthier futures across species:
- Human pregnancy: Developmental programming and long-term adverse offspring outcomes of maternal obesity and hypertension
- Translational investigations using murine models for human disease; potential to work with human samples in the future
- Canine pregnancy: Developmental programming and long-term offspring outcomes of maternal obesity
- Equine pregnancy: Placentation and molecular signaling at the maternal-fetal interface
