Physiology, immunology, endocrinology, ethics and professionalism.
Research Interests
The main goal of Dr. Rutigliano’s research is to identify the mechanisms underlying pregnancy losses and complications. These discoveries are expected to lead to new approaches to improve success rates of pregnancies in livestock species.
