Andrew Pask is a researcher in reproductive biology, developmental biology, and evolution, with a focus on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying mammalian reproduction and development. His work explores the evolutionary origins of genomic imprinting, sex determination, and developmental processes in marsupials and monotremes. Pask's research integrates genomic and molecular approaches to investigate how evolutionary changes shape reproductive and developmental traits across species. His studies include the analysis of the platypus and kangaroo genomes, providing insights into the evolution of mammalian reproduction and development. His research also examines the impact of environmental factors on reproductive health and the role of retrotransposons in genomic imprinting.
