Welcome to Dr. Andrea Cupp's Lab
The Research Focus of the Cupp laboratory is to study: 1) Cows with androgen excess to understand how this causes anovulation and infertility similar to women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome; 2) Determine factors (genetic and environmental) that contribute to delayed or early puberty in heifers; 3) Differentiation of Granulosa and Theca Cells to form luteal cells and a Functional Corpus Luteum (CL); 4) Determine the effects of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGFA) isoforms in male and female fertility in Conditional knockout mice.
