• Biography/ Background

  I'm an NHMRC Early Career Research Fellow and run the Sperm and Embryo Biology Research Group at the Robinson Research Institute and the Freemasons Centre for Mens Health. I also work in affiliation with the Monash IVF group. My main research interest include;

  • Lifestyle and environmental factors of male fertility
  • Paternal Programming of Childrens Health
  • Clinical Andrology
  • Sperm/egg Interactions and associated early embryo development
  • Endangered Species Conservation

• Qualifications

  • 2011-2014 PhD (September, 2014), 成人大片

  Title: The effect of diet and exercise for the treatment of male obesity induced sub fertility

  •  2009-2010 Bachelor of Health Science Hons (1HA), 成人大片

  Title: SIRT6 in spermatogenesis is modulated by diet induced obesity

  •  2005-2007 Bachelor of Health Science (Reproductive Health & Genetics), 成人大片

• Teaching Interests

  Along with my clinical affiliates (Professor Michelle Lane (Science and Innovation, Monash IVF Group, Dr Dee Zander Fox (Regional Scientific Director, Monash IVF Group and Dr Tod Fullston Manager of Clinical Genetics, Repromed) I'm active in undergraduate teaching;

  • Male reproductive Systems
  • Clinical Andrology

  I am always interested in recuriting high quality students for both honours and PhD studies in both animal models and clinical samples in the areas of;

  • Male infertility
  • Nutrition and sperm function
  • Clinical biomarkers of pregnancy success via sperm
