Here at Gyneeworks Institute we are continously investing in basic research in obstetrics and gynaecology, utilizing a number of research grants. Our fellows are working on various projects, investigating the molecular basis of the differrent gynaecological and obstetric conditions.
Our interests range from the molecular pathogenetic mechanisms of pre-eclampsia and obstetric cholestasis, to the immunologic phenomena that dominate the utero-placental surface. We try to identify molecular markers that will be useful in the early detection of pregnant ladies that are more likely to develop pre-eclampsia. Moreover, we try to identify molecular interactions that take place during the implantation of the blastocyst, that might contribute to the development of pre-eclampsia later in the course of a pregnancy. We are also investigating the mechanisms that dominate the pathogenesis of obstetric sepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation.
Considering the need for more direct and accurate diagnostic services that are required by modern societies, we have invested a significant weight of our resources to the development of more effective and innovative diagnostic models.
We are running research that covers a wide range of gynaecological conditions ranging from the diagnosis and confirmation of a intauterine pregnancy, to the identification of the fluctuation of the different female hormones. For this reason we have a strong interest in developing lateral flow assays and tests that can be used to diagnose various disease states related to women’s health.
