Research
Jane joined the Department of Anatomy in 2018 after nearly 20 years working in Australia, most recently in the Gynaecology Research Centre at the University of Melbourne and Royal Women’s Hospital, Melbourne. Jane is a reproductive biologist with research interests in uterine biology and women’s health, with a particular focus on the common gynaecological disorder endometriosis.
In ongoing collaborative research with colleagues in Australia, Jane is investigating the functional role of genetic variants linked with the pathophysiology of endometriosis. She is also examining patient details and the phenotype endometriotic lesions with the goal of identifying characteristics that may assist clinicians with treatment decisions.
Jane also has an interest in the impact of menstrual pain and menstrual bleeding disorders on individuals and their families, and how we can better assist girls and young women to live a full and happy life.
