Research Group Head, Male Fertility Regulation Adjunct Senior Lecturer, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University
Research Interest
Dr Peter Stanton’s research interests lie in the hormonal regulation of cell junctions in the testis, as part of the search for testicular targets of male hormonal contraception. His work has focussed on cell junctions between Sertoli and germ cells, and more recently between Sertoli cells, with particular reference to their regulation by gonadotrophins. With specific skills in biomolecular separation and characterisation, and has applied these skills to the assessment of serum and testicular steroids and hormones in rats and men during male hormonal contraception.
