David Natale is an Associate Professor in the Biomedical Molecular Sciences at Queen's University. He completed his PhD at the University of Western Ontario, focusing on mammalian preimplantation development under the supervision of Dr. Andrew Watson. Following his doctoral studies, he pursued post-doctoral training at the University of Calgary, specializing in placental development under Dr. Jay Cross. He later served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary's Faculty of Medicine and the University of California San Diego's Faculty of Health Sciences. Natale's research centers on trophoblast stem cell biology, placental development, and the impact of placental insufficiency on fetal health. His laboratory employs mouse and rat models to explore the cellular mechanisms underpinning placental function and developmental pathways impacting pregnancy outcomes. His research is supported by institutions such as CIHR, NIH/NICHD, and the UCSD/UCLA Diabetes Research Center. Natale aims to elucidate the adaptive responses of trophoblasts under stress, particularly their role in fetal health and potential interventions for placental disorders. He is actively seeking graduate students to join his lab.
