Our lab uses multi-omics data including transcriptomics, epigenetics, metabolomics, proteomics, and single-cell genomics to address fundamental questions relating to Animal Genetics, Genomics and Reproductive Biology. Currently, our research aims are to better understand the regulation of fetal brain development in animals. Our future plans are to investigate how early-life stress and abnormalities impact brain health and diseases later in life. The overarching goals of the lab is to expand our understanding of fundamental biological questions and accelerate the transition from basic science to translational research.

Peter Sutovsky

Peter Sutovsky is a Professor of Animal Science in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, University of Missouri, also appointed as Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Women’s Health at the School of Medicine, University of Missouri Health System. Since the early 90’s, Sutovsky has studied mammalian gametogenesis, fertilization, and pre-implantation embryonic development with special emphasis on the gamete and zygotic ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS), publishing his work in Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Medicine, PNAS and other prestigious journals. He was the first to describe the role of UPS in the regulation of mitochondrial inheritance and introduced a novel concept…
