Our group studies the influence of the placenta on the physiology and development of fetal tissues, including cells of the central nervous system and the heart. To perform the experiments, we use in vitro placental models and cell lines representative of fetal tissues. In particular, we study how the placenta responds to adverse maternal environmental conditions and how it transmits this information to the fetus.
The candidate will be involved in the following activities:
1. Setting up in vitro models of maternal-fetal crosstalk
2. Functional analysis of maternal-fetal crosstalk
