Professor Quirk is a reproductive biologist with a concentration in ovarian physiology. A major interest of her lab is to determine the mechanism of ovulation using novel in vivo imaging techniques. Other areas of research interest are on determining the role of the hedgehog signaling pathway in ovarian function and on elucidating signaling mechanisms in the oocyte. Dr. Quirk teaches Fundamentals of Endocrinology. She serves as Chair of the Undergraduate Honors Research Committee in Animal Science, facilitating participation of students in honors research with a variety of mentors across the University and their completion of honors theses for graduation with Distinction in Research.
