Video Summary
Dr. Francesco DeMeo, a senior principal investigator and the chief of the Reproductive and Developmental Biology Lab at the National Institute of Health Sciences in Research Triangle Park in North Carolina, presented on his career in uterine biology. He discussed his path to studying uterine development and function, starting with his undergraduate studies at Cornell University and then his time at Michigan State University where he worked on fertilization and cryopreservation. DeMeo went on to join the lab of David Bullock and focused on studying the hormonal regulation of genes in the uterus using transgenic mouse models. His research involved mapping progesterone-related pathways and identifying the roles of progesterone receptors in uterine receptivity and parturition. DeMeo also discussed his work with the Indian hedgehog protein and its role in uterine stromal development. He highlighted the challenges of working with limited cell lines and the need for better in vitro models of uterine biology. He emphasized the importance of creativity and taking chances in scientific research and encouraged researchers to look beyond their specific tissue of interest and consider the broader biology. DeMeo also emphasized the need for effective communication in grant writing and the importance of addressing critiques and seeking feedback from diverse perspectives.
