Research Focus
Milan Bagchi is the Director of the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology, the Deborah Paul Endowed Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, a University Scholar, and Romano Professorial Scholar. His research seeks to identify the molecular pathways regulated by the steroid hormones estrogen and progesterone during growth and differentiation of hormone-responsive tissues. The physiological effects of these hormones are mediated through cognate nuclear receptors, which function as ligand-inducible transcription factors. We are working to characterize, at molecular and cellular levels, the hormonal mechanisms that regulate embryo implantation and fertility.
