Lecturer / Clinical Associate ProfessorI am currently conducting research aimed at unraveling the pathogenesis of uterine fibroids. Through animal experiments, I have successfully demonstrated that the simultaneous presence of sex steroid hormones, estrogen and progesterone, secreted by the ovaries, is essential for the enlargement of uterine fibroids. Furthermore, I have elucidated the mechanism by which uterine fibroids develop and expand under conditions of hypoxia.
Moving forward, my research will focus on the development of novel treatments for uterine fibroids.
