Our overall goal is to understand the cell and molecular basis of germline differentiation and epigenetic reprogramming. My laboratory uses CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technologies, next generation sequencing, pluripotent stem cells and mouse modeling to achieve this goal. Results from our work will provide a biological understanding of the cell and molecular basis of human life and child health, and potentially the foundation for a cell based therapy to overcome human infertility.

Amander Clark, PhD is the Founding Director of the UCLA Center for Reproductive Science, Health and Education. The goal of the Center is to provide a home for researchers and students interested in the science and social science of reproductive bodies, pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes. She is also a Professor of Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology in the College of Letters and Science. Professor Clark is an award-winning scientist and internationally recognized expert on topics in stem cell biology and reproductive science authoring more than 100 scientific articles with >17,000 citations of her lab's research. Professor Clark is regularly invited to appear as a subject matter expert for media outlets including the New York Times, the Economist, the New Yorker and Public Radio. She also serves on the National Academies of Science Engineering and Medicine Board of Health Sciences Policy. In 2023 Professor Clark began her elected role as President of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, a global non-profit that promotes excellence in stem cell science and applications to human health.
