Principal Investigator

Olga Astapova
Research Interest:

Current research activity in my lab aims to investigate the non-coding transcriptional activity of androgen receptor in granulosa cells and the role of cytoplasmic adaptor protein paxillin in the ovary. While research occupies the majority of my time, 20% of my appointment is clinical. My clinical interest is in managing the symptoms and reducing the metabolic risks associated with PCOS, as well as managing other conditions of disordered sex steroids: gender dysphoria, early menopause, male and female hypogonadism.
