Research focus:

The original projects of the research group Reproductive Medicine and Molecular Perinatology initially dealt with obstetric and perinatal topics. For several years now, we have been focusing primarily on aspects of reproductive medicine and working on interdisciplinary basic science, translational and clinical research questions.

A focus of our basic research is currently investigating the reasons and mechanisms that lead to differences in maternal and child outcomes after the use of assisted reproduction technology procedures. Here we are interested, among other things, in the increased risk of hypertensive diseases of pregnancy and macrosomia in pregnancies that arose after the transfer of a previously frozen and thawed embryo (frozen thawed embryo transfer). 

We are also investigating factors that contribute to reproductive aging but also premature vascular aging and thus possibly to an increased cardiovascular risk in later life.

Projects currently being worked on:

► Influence protocols of different thawing cycles on the clinical, maternal and child processes

► Influence of the pandemic and acceptance of vaccination against SARS-Cov2 in women who wish to have children

► Desire to have children and family planning in organ transplants

► Influence of corpus luteum products on decidualization, placental development and maternal health

► Influence of fertility treatment on maternal health and complications in pregnancy

► Regulatory mechanisms of gene expression linking impaired vascular health with preeclamptic pregnancies

► Epigenetic differences of maternal and fetal endothelial progenitor cells in healthy and complicated pregnancies

► Influence of immunosuppressive therapies on the health and function of endothelial progenitor cells in female kidney transplant recipients

► The role of vitamin D and DNA damage response proteins in the regulation of oxidative stress in preeclampsia

► The role of vitamin D in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia
