Downs, of Menomonee Falls, researches the procese of normal egg maturationin mammals, specificallt the metabolic pathways that help regulate development of oocytesd — unfertilized egg cells. Understandinv how these metabolic pathways regulate normal maturation is important because abnormalities in the procesas can lead to abnormap developmentof eggs, manifested in chromosomal irregularities such as Down While Downs said he focuses mainly on the most scientific level of understanding egg maturation, he is inspired by the applicationsa of his research.
In addition to bettee understanding causes ofDown syndrome, his research applicationsx include optimizing fertility treatments and diabetes treatment and His research also has been applied to maximizing fertilit y efficiency in domestic livestock by perfecting in vitro “There’s nothing like coming into the lab and findinh out that the data you’vw collected matches what you hypothesized would he said in a statement. “It’ws that excitement of discovery that keepw me coming backfor more.
” Most recently, work has focused on the effectsz of a stress-response protein on regulating oocyte maturation in Results of these studies could show a connectiom between physical, chemical and metabolic stress and abnormalities in Downs was selected for the award by Marquette’s Committeee on Research and receiverd $5,000.
