Rhett McClean is a Lecturer in Anatomy and Physiology at the School of Dentistry and Medical Sciences, Charles Sturt University. He teaches human anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, and reproductive biology across both human and animal subjects.

• B.Sc. (Hons 1) Anatomy and Zoology, University of Adelaide, 1999
• Ph.D. School Animal Studies, University of Queensland, 2008

His research focuses on mammalian gamete form and function, sperm-egg interactions, cryopreservation techniques, and reproductive technologies like IVF and ICSI. He explores environmental impacts on sperm quality and wildlife reproduction, supported by histology and electron microscopy expertise.

Rhett's publications span cryopreservation methodologies in marsupials, reproductive physiology, and complementary medicine applications. His work addresses challenges in reducing glycerol cytotoxicity, analyzing sperm ultrastructure, and comparing cross-species cryopreservation success. Later research extends into herbal treatments for hormonal disorders and evidence-based practices in complementary medicine.

He joined CSU in 2010 after completing his PhD, continuing his academic journey in teaching and research without explicit mentions of awards, student supervision, or lab leadership in the provided data.
