Dr Jessica Stringer is a reproductive biologist whose research investigates how chemical and environmental factors impact genome integrity, inheritance, and female fertility. She completed her PhD at The University of Melbourne in 2012, studying genomic imprinting. As a postdoctoral researcher at the Hudson Institute, she identified a novel mechanism of epigenetic inheritance. Since 2016, she has worked at Monash University, where she discovered key DNA repair pathways that protect oocytes. Her current work focuses on improving fertility during maternal aging, developing fertility-preserving therapies, and ensuring these interventions do not compromise offspring health.
