Louise Laurent,
Associate Professor
Louise Laurent is Associate Professor in Reproductive Medicine at the University of California, San Diego. She received her residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology and her clinical fellowship training in Maternal Fetal Medicine at UC San Diego. Her graduate research at UCSF included a large scale mutagenesis and molecular tracking strategy to define the regions of the HIV genome necessary for viral replication in the laboratory of Patrick O. Brown, M.D. / Ph.D. As a clinical fellow, she worked with Jeanne Loring, Ph.D. at The Scripps Research Institute to delineate the expression of miRNAs in human embryonic stem cells. Her current research focuses on applying genomic and epigenomic methods to understanding the molecular regulation of pluripotency and differentiation, optimizing the preclinical and clinical utility of human pluripotent stem cells, and identifying the molecular basis of placental dysfunction in human pregnancy.
