Research Focus
Dr. Jennifer Kehlet Barton's research lab at the University of Arizona focuses on understanding and improving women's reproductive health. The lab studies the vital role of motile cilia in the fallopian tubes, which are critical for fertility, and seeks to develop advanced imaging techniques for clinical applications. Additionally, the lab aims to enhance early detection methods for ovarian cancer by combining blood biomarkers and innovative imaging technologies.
