Milan K Bagchi

Milan K Bagchi is a Professor in the Department of Biomedical and Translational Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, teaching courses including MCB 199 (Undergraduate Open Seminar) and MCB 413 (Endocrinology).

His research focuses on:

• Endometrial function and decidualization mechanisms
• Embryo implantation and placental development
• Impact of environmental toxins (particularly phthalates) on uterine biology
• Signaling pathways (estrogen, beta-catenin, TGF-beta) in pregnancy
• Role of extracellular vesicles in maternal-fetal communication

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a dominant focus on environmental endocrine disruptors, especially phthalates, and their effects on endometrial pathology. Key trends include disruption of estrogenic regulation and HIF2α signaling leading to endometrial hyperplasia, impairment of decidual angiogenesis, and induction of cellular senescence via inflammatory pathways. His work consistently employs murine models and human endometrial stromal cell cultures to investigate molecular mechanisms at the maternal-fetal interface.
