Description
Low-dose aspirin effectively prevents placental-mediated pregnancy complications such as pre-eclampsia. However, its mechanism of action remains unknown.
In this lab-based project led by A/Prof Miranda Davis-Tuck and Dr Sarah Marshall, we will investigate the effects of aspirin on placental and uterine vasculature and on the endometrium using placental and decidual samples.
