AJOG extends its condolences to the family & friends of Dr. Christopher Redman. Dr. Redman is highly regarded and recognized as a world class expert, pioneering research into preeclampsia, placental physiology & immunology of the maternal-fetal interface ow.ly/hrzZ50SXhxp

Congratulations Cottrell Tamessar (She/They) from Uni Newcastle Research on PhD submission on the roles of seminal fluid extracellular vesicles in the period surrounding conception. Incredible amount of hard work to bring together this amazing thesis. Supervised by myself, Brett Nixon and Elizabeth Bromfield

Excited to have this published! We identify a subset of microRNAs acquired by sperm from the epididymal epithelium that regulate gene expression in preimplantation embryos > cell.com/cell-reports/f… Huge thanks to Colin Conine for the support and guidance during this project

🙌 Congratulations to the winner of the IFPA New Investigator Award, ANZPRA ECR Sid Acharya!! 🥇👏👏👏 Uni Newcastle Research @uni_newcastle Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI)

On the same week as submitting her thesis, Cottrell Tamessar (She/They) Uni Newcastle Research Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) has a publication accepted in Reproduction and Fertility on the consequences of seminal fluid extracellular vesicles interactions with sperm. Read at link below raf.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/…

Our WinRS past chair Dr. Karen Schindler has been such an amazing advocate for our group ❤️ Thank you so much for your time and dedication to lifting the women of SSR up! #reprorocks #womeninSTEM

Congratulations Rukmali!

Excellent work by Kavita Panir from her PhD Robinson Research Institute Uni of Adelaide to explore using a mouse model of endometriosis to explore the genes and signalling pathways involved in lesion development

Important study from Brett Nixon group led by Natalie Trigg reveals that heat stress alters sperm RNA, impacting embryo development & health. Even modest temperature increases pose risks with potential long-term effects on the health of future generations pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Another piece towards our understanding of paternal intergenerational effects. Here, together with Brett Nixon lab, we discovered that #GlobalWarming can have long-lasting effects across generations. Check it out: pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… #Epigenetics #pregnantlife #Health

🔥🔥 A modest increase in temp doesn't affect sperm functionality but does alter sperm small RNAs, embryo dev and gene expression in mice plus more. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

This one was a big group effort! Not possible without John Schjenken, Brett Nixon and the rest of the team
