1969 Research Interests Emphasis is placed on the regulation of pituitary gonadotropin secretion and on the regulation of ovarian function. Basic and developmental experiments are conducted. Current research focuses on the ovarian production of proteins that are involved in the intra-ovarian regulation of follicular development and ovulation rate, and in the negative feedback regulation of pituitary FSH secretion.
Projects blend techniques of molecular biology, protein purification and immunoassay.
I organize a graduate-level seminar in ethical issues in science. Graduate Students Graduate students conduct MS and Ph.D. dissertation research in the area of reproductive endocrinology. They usually present their research findings at the annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, or at the annual meeting of the Society for the Study of Reproduction. Other conferences and symposia also are attended. Selected Publications Kusina, N.T., R.L. Meyer, K.M. Carlson, and J.E. Wheaton.
