Biography

Courtney W Hanna is a researcher focusing on pregnancy complications and their underlying aetiologies. Her laboratory investigates the gene regulatory mechanisms involved in placental development, particularly in trophoblasts. Hanna's research employs a combination of genetic tools and advanced single-cell sequencing methodologies to analyze early epigenetic programming within placental trophoblasts. Her work highlights the importance of epigenetic marks in establishing gene regulatory landscapes essential for placental differentiation. Collaborating with leading researchers in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Anatomy, and Pathology at the University of Cambridge, as well as at the Príncipe Felipe Research Center in Valencia, Spain, Hanna aims to bridge critical gaps in knowledge that affect pregnancy outcomes.
