Erika Paulson is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute’s Center for Species Survival. Paulson’s research employs both embryo and cell culture techniques and molecular biology techniques for the study of preimplantation embryos and embryo implantation in mammals. She is particularly interested in the changes in gene expression and molecular events necessary for successful implantation of embryos in a receptive endometrium.
Paulson’s current projects use the domestic cat model to better understand embryo
