David Greg Fitzharris

David Greg Fitzharris is a Full Professor associated with the Université de Montréal and practices at the CRCHUM (Montreal University Hospital Research Center) in the Viger Tower. His research focuses on the mechanisms of conception, specifically the impact of maternal age on egg and embryo quality, and its implications for fertility.

• Education:
  • Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Pharmacology, University College London (2000)
  • PhD in Physiology, University College London (2004)
  • Postdoctoral Fellow at Ottawa Health Research Institute (2007)

His current projects investigate motor protein roles in age-related oocyte aneuploidy, chromosome segregation errors in early embryos, and centriole biogenesis regulation. He utilizes live-cell microscopy to study these processes.

Scientific Contributions: Dr. Fitzharris has published extensively on reproductive aging, embryo development, and cellular dynamics in mouse models. His work addresses critical challenges in fertility decline associated with maternal age.
