Research project awarded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to study the AHR pathway in uterine fibroids and develop new treatments.
Description
The project focuses on the role of the tryptophan-kynurenine-aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway in tumorigenesis of uterine fibroids. The research involves genome-wide studies, xenograft mouse models, and molecular biology techniques. The project aims to develop novel therapeutics for uterine leiomyoma.
