Research Interest: The main goal of our lab is to explore the effects of cannabinoids on the mammalian gametes. In particular, to examine the effect of cannabinoids on intracellular and molecular mechanisms during oocyte maturation and sperm capacitation, with a follow up on fertilization capability and embryonic development.

Specific Research Topics on Cannabinoids:

The effect of cannabinoids on oocyte and sperm competence

Key Words: oocyte maturation, sperm capacitation, fertilization competence, early embryonic development.
