My main research focus is on microchimerism. Microchimerism is a pregnancy phenomenon where fetal cells travel towards maternal tissues and vice versa. These microchimeric cells are able to colonize host tissues and can persist lifelong. I am especially interested in the distribution, frequency and function of fetal, maternal and sibling microchimeric cells, during and after prengancy.
