Dr. Alexandra Kermack is a Senior Lecturer in Medical Education and Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Surrey’s School of Medicine. She holds dual roles combining clinical practice at Frimley Health Foundation Trust with academic research focused on medical education, maternal-fetal health, and reproductive biology.
Her research spans preconception nutrition’s impact on fertility outcomes, including randomized controlled trials (e.g., MAVIDOS and PREPARE) investigating vitamin D and omega-3 supplementation effects on pregnancy timing, birth mode, and embryo development. She has contributed to landmark studies on Medical Certificate of Stillbirth accuracy, pandemic impacts on perinatal outcomes (PAN-COVID), and embryo metabolism in assisted reproduction.
Key thematic areas include: 1) clinical teaching development for junior doctors, 2) dietary interventions to improve IVF success rates, and 3) epigenetic effects of paternal nutrition on offspring health. Her work bridges clinical practice and public health, addressing aging-related pathologies and sustainable nutrition strategies to reduce preterm birth rates globally.
Dr. Kermack’s studies frequently involve collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and major institutions like the NIHR Southampton Biomedical Research Centre. Her research has informed international consensus statements on aging-related disease classification and clinical practice guidelines for obstetric emergency management.
