Critchley's research focusses on local uterine mechanisms involved in menstruation and implantation, and addresses the mechanisms common to those reproductive processes – injury and repair, endocrine–immune interactions and regulation of inflammatory mediators. A particular area of interest has been the local endometrial response to withdrawal of progesterone, both physiological and pharmacological.[1][2]
