EP56: Embryo Development: Metabolism and the Uterine Microenvironment with Dr. Kosta Simintiras
Saturday, 28 March, 2026
In today’s episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Kosta Simintiras, Assistant Professor of Reproductive and Developmental Biology at Lousiana State University. Dr. Simintiras studies mechanisms of communication between maternal and embryonic tissues that are essential for establishing early pregnancy in mammals. His lab uses a combination of model systems including cattle, transgenic rodents, and organoids grown from human cells, with the ultimate goal of understanding of how pregnancy works both when it goes well, and when it doesn’t.
