| Endometrium | Immunohistochemistry | |||||
|
The human endometrium is essential to female reproductive function. Endometrium, the inner mucous lining of the uterus, constitutes the surface where the fertilized egg implants. |
Immunohistochemistry is the technique where substances, such as growth factors, in sections of tissue are localized by use of specific antibodies. This technique has been central throughout my PhD studies. |

| Angiogenesis | Image analysis | |||||
Angiogenesis, the new building of blood vessel from existing ones (Folkman, 1985).There are numerous interesting angiogenic growth factors discovered. However I have focused on a few of them. Read more |

I have used image analysis to quantify immunohistochemical stainings. Additionally, performed morphometric or stereological analyses on tissue samples stained for blood vessels. Read more |

I have worked with SDS-page in order to detect angiogenic peptides in endometrial tissue. Additionally to verify the function and specificity of different antibodies. |
