Research Interest

The Gomes Lab research program is dedicated to exploring comparative pregnancy physiology and developmental origins of health and disease. Our core objective is to unravel the role of sex steroid hormones in the transgenerational effects of obesity and pregnancy hypertension, particularly across mother to daughter generations. Adopting a comprehensive approach inspired by the One Health concept, which highlights the intricate interplay between animal, human and environmental well-being, our laboratory employs diverse animal models to foster scientific advances in both veterinary and human reproductive medicine. Research Topics

Comparative pregnancy physiology Adverse outcomes of maternal obesity Developmental programming of adult obesity and hypertension

Current Investigations

The role of sex steroid hormones in female obesity and superimposed preeclampsia Adverse outcomes of canine maternal obesity Equine endometrial cup development and demise Service
