My research approach involves understanding fundamental events for early embryo development in order to improve fertility through assisted reproductive technologies (ART). As a graduate student, I studied the oocyte in vitro maturation, as a key step for acquiring the competence needed to produce a good-quality embryo. I am currently studying the crosstalk between sperm, female tract and oocyte, with the hypothesis that this interaction is essential for fertility and healthy embryo development.
