Overview

I am an Instructor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Rutgers New Jersey Medical
School and a member of Dr. So-Youn Kim's laboratory. My research focuses on ovarian biology,
folliculogenesis, and the molecular mechanisms regulating oocyte survival and apoptosis. I investigate
the impact of chemotherapy on ovarian reserve and explore strategies for fertility preservation in cancer
patients within the field of oncofertility. In addition, my current research examines the effects of incretin-
based therapies, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, on ovarian function and female reproductive health.
