KHINE YIN MON

Research scientist with a medical degree and 4 years of postdoctoral research experience in reproductive biology, neuroendocrinology, ophthalmic research, and behavioral neuroscience. Expertise includes a range of techniques such as mouse models, molecular biology, imaging, behavioral assays, and advanced surgical methods. Proven ability in experimental design, data analysis, mentoring emerging scientists, and communicating complex scientific concepts effectively. Research focuses on 1)estrogen receptor signaling in reproductive pathology, 2)sexual differentiation of the brain, 3) maternal behavior, 4)infertility, and 5)ocular development.
