Elisa Zhang’s laboratory studies the uterus’s remarkable capacity for scarless regeneration during the menstrual cycle as well as dynamic tissue remodeling during pregnancy, uncovering new insights into uterine disorders and tissue repair. Her group explores how the uterine inner lining breaks down and regrows each monthly cycle without scarring. By integrating these findings with studies on how the uterus and placenta sustain pregnancy, the Zhang lab aims to reveal new concepts and strategies for improving maternal-fetal outcomes, gynecological health, and regenerative medicine.
