Welcome to the Cheong Lab
Our lab focuses on Comparative Reproductive Medicine to advance our understanding of reproductive physiology as well as improve our ability to manipulate reproduction for increased fertility or sterility. We take advantage of being in a College of Veterinary Medicine which gives us access to a variety of domestic species through clinical cases. The comparative aspects include translational work between basic science discoveries in laboratory species to clinical practice in veterinary reproduction; between different domestic species and wildlife; and between human reproductive medicine and veterinary medicine. While not the core focus of the lab, we also investigate basic mechanisms, especially those that relate to diseases or clinical technology.
