Anne Marie Jukic, Ph.D.

The Fertility and Reproductive Health Group is led by Anne Marie Z. Jukic, Ph.D., who also works in the Reproductive and Developmental Biology Laboratory. Her work focuses on factors that affect or change reproductive function (e.g., ovulation and menstrual cycles), conception, implantation, placental development, and pregnancy outcomes. Given the financial and emotional burden of fertility problems and pregnancy loss, this research has broad and immediate public health relevance.
