The role of endometrial stem cells in women’s reproductive health and disease, and their use in cell based therapies [ 2013 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Caroline Gargett (Principal investigator)

Brief description The endometrial lining of the uterus rapidly grows and sheds each month in reproductive age women. My discovery of 2 types of endometrial stem cells has changed our understanding of how endometrium grows and how abnormalities in this process lead to gynaecological disease. This project will characterise the role of endometrial stem cells in endometriosis and examine how endometrial mesenchymal stem cells can be used as a cell-based therapy for pelvic organ prolapse.
