At the conclusion of this program the participant should be able to:
- Cite recent advances in understanding of reproductive biology and the role ligand-binding intracellular transcription factors, including estrogen receptor beta, and progesterone receptor, play in reproductive physiology;
- Describe the mechanisms by which placentation and the fetal allograft are accommodated by maternal uterine immune responses;
- Review the current applications of genomics, proteomics, epidemiology and bioinformatics as they apply to human reproduction;
- Gain an understanding of basic reproductive physiology so that it can be translated to clinical applications to improve fetal outcomes, prevent and eliminate endometrial and metabolic disease, and treat, reduce, and/or eliminate reproductive dysfunction and cancer;
- Describe the impact of disease, cancer treatment, environmental pollutants, and advanced reproductive technologies on reproduction and parturition in the human population.
