Early Career Researcher Spotlight
Assistant Professor Rachel West
Dr. West received her B.S. and M.S. in Animal and Dairy Science from the University of Georgia (UGA) where she worked to derive and characterize avian induced pluripotent stem cells and primordial germ cells. After completing her M.S. degree, she moved to Colorado State University (CSU) to pursue a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences. Her work at CSU focused on early pregnancy and how the molecular pathways that cause cancer in adult tissues are critical for healthy placental development. Rachel continued her training in reproductive physiology with a postdoctoral position at the Colorado Center for Reproductive Medicine where she studied the peri-implantation stage placenta and the mechanisms contributing to recurrent implantation failure.
