The Menon Labratory
Perinatal Research

Director: Dr. Ramkumar Menon, PhD
The Menon laboratory is primarily interested in studying feto-maternal communications associated with maintenance of pregnancy and initiation of labor and delivery (parturition). The lab studies various aspects of fetal responses using fetal membrane (amniochorionic membrane/placental membrane) as a model. Over 30 years, The Menon laboratory has studied changes in fetal membranes in response to various endogenous and exogenous factors and developed pathways and biomarkers associated with human parturition.
