Research Activity
Members of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology are involved in a variety of active research projects, many of which are performed on an interdepartmental basis with other clinical and basic scientists within the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. These activities span the breadth of investigative Obstetrics and Gynecology, from direct clinical trials to basic laboratory research that can be translated to patient care. Members of the Research Division strive to advance the understanding of women's health and reproduction.
The department's laboratory facilities for research and training include large core laboratory facilities on the eighth floor of the MacDonald Women's Hospital. The laboratories are fully equipped for up-to-date research in molecular and cellular biology.
As members of the faculty of School of Medicine, researchers in the department have access to more than 20 core facilities. These include core laboratories services for:
- Confocal microscopy
- Flow cytometry
- Gene expression array
- Molecular cytogenetics
- Proteomics
