In addition to clinical studies, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility faculty and fellows participate in a wide variety of translational reproductive research. This research is ongoing in the wet (experimental) and dry (computational) labs of internationally acknowledged investigators in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. These research programs are independently funded by substantial grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
See below for a closer look at the work being done in some of our labs.
