个人简介
I obtained my PhD from the University of Newcastle (awarded 1999) working on a collaborative project with the Vertebrate Biocontrol Cooperative Research Centre focused on characterising protein expression and function in male gametogenesis. This work helped to define to role of the male reproductive tract in post-testicular sperm maturation. I then undertook post-doctoral research in the Department of Cell Biology, Emory University, GA, USA (1999-2000). This work centred on the characterisation of a knockout mouse model bearing a targeted deletion of a key protein involved in gamete interactions. In 2001, I was recruited to the University of Newcastle as an Associate Lecturer in Biological Sciences and promoted to the position of Lecturer in 2004, Senior Lecturer in 2007, and Associate Professor in 2011. Since appointment I have established an active research program focusing on the use of human and animal models to characterise the processes of gamete maturation. In spermatozoa, I am currently working on a number of key molecules that control cell function and regulate gamete interactions. In folliculogenesis, I have focused on cell signalling pathways that contribute to the initiation of primordial follicle activation and the effects of environmental ovotoxicants on these pathways.
