Hi,
Dr. Diana Monsivais is a visiting professor supported by the Profi6 Fibrobesity visitor program for 14-28.06.2024, hosted by Dr. Renata Prunskaite-Hyyryläinen’s research laboratory. Dr. Diana Monsivais is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Immunology at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM), Houston, TX, USA where she studies uterine biology and female reproductive diseases.
Dr. Monsivais will give two lectures during her visit to Oulu:
* 18.06.2024, 15:00-16:00, Lecture hall F202: Uterine TGFβ signaling controls endometrial cell homeostasis and regeneration
* 25.06.2024, 12:15-13:00, Lecture hall F101: Modeling endometrial regeneration using epithelial organoids
You are all warmly welcome to both lectures! (This time, unfortunately, no coffee because Medisiina will already be closed.) If you would like to make an appointment with Dr. Diana Monsivais please contact Renata Prunskaite-Hyyryläinen.
Short Researcher Profile Dr. Monsivais has developed mouse models of early pregnancy loss that demonstrate the convergence of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway and the hormonal endometrial response during embryo implantation. Ongoing studies in her group combine genetically engineered mice with human translational models to uncover the signaling mechanisms that drive endometrial cell renewal and underpin the biology of early pregnancy loss and endometriosis. Her work focused on endometrial organoids, regeneration, stem cells, and endometriosis is funded by the NIH. Dr. Monsivais also received an NIH K99/R00 Award and a Next Generation Pregnancy Award from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund to study the role of the endometrium in female reproductive health and pregnancy. As a member of the graduate faculty at BCM, Diana enjoys teaching and mentoring new scientists in the classroom and in the laboratory.
