Dr. Timms studies prostate growth and development - the complex ductal architecture of the gland during fetal development - using sophisticated 3-dimensional computerized serial section reconstruction. Current research focuses on two main areas: a) the cellular mechanisms controlling proliferation and differentiation of the prostate, and b) the effect of environmental endocrine disruptors on glandular growth patterns.
