The Reproductive Biology and Perinatal Lab (RBPL) has a great mix of projects and includes clinical and basic researchers. The fibroid research within the lab embraces an entirely new direction in thinking about uterine fibroids. We are looking at fibroids as more than neoplasms, and consider them to be a fibrotic disease. I also love teaching and believe that it happens not only in the classroom but also in the laboratory. Our group works hard to invite and accommodate students, residents, and fellows. We teach not only methods and procedures, but also approaches, limitations and design of experiments in hypothesis driven research. This knowledge and experience will serve any future researcher and clinician well when reading the literature, asking their own questions, and during collaborations. As a team, we are on our way to make a difference in woman’s health.
