Research
Mr Harish Bhandari was awarded Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree by the University of Warwick for his research work defining endometrium (lining of the womb) in obese women and for investigating if obese environment causes perturbations in the endometrium around the time of embryo implantation. His work has provided evidence to suggest that the poor reproductive outcome in obese women has a molecular basis that lies in the endometrium.
