About
Dr. Jessica Stringer is a Research Fellow in the Department of Anatomy & Developmental Biology at Monash University. She holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne (2012) and has conducted postdoctoral research at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research. Her research focuses on understanding how chemical and environmental factors impact genome integrity, genetic/non-genetic inheritance, and female fertility. Key areas include DNA repair mechanisms in oocytes, maternal aging effects, and fertility preservation during cancer therapy.
Projects:
- Defining inflammatory cytokine roles in oocyte maturation (2024-2027)
- Deciphering subfertility mechanisms (2022-2025)
- SCIREQ inExpose system applications (2021-2022)
Research Highlights: Dr. Stringer has identified DNA repair pathways safeguarding primordial follicle oocytes and pioneered studies on BRCA1’s role in oocyte quality. Her work bridges basic science and clinical applications, aiming to improve fertility outcomes for cancer patients and aging women.
Awards & Recognition: No specific awards listed, but her research contributes to UN SDGs related to health and environmental sustainability.
Collaborations: Works with Hudson Institute, Monash University teams, and international collaborators on epigenetics, reproductive biology, and toxicology.
