Overview
My research program is targeting reactive aldehyde detoxification as a treatment strategy and diagnostic biomarker for endometriosis. To do so, we incorporate rodent models of endometriosis, behavioral psychophysics, biochemical techniques, and human tissue samples. Additional interests include involvement of the endocannabinoid system, menstrual/estrous cycle, and sex differences in pain.
