Excited to announce my first research paper on macroautophagy in aged pre-ovulatory oocytes is out! 🔬🥚Using comprehensive image analysis methods, we found key components of the #macroautophagy pathway are altered in aged mouse pre-ovulatory oocytes(1/2) https://t.co/Tog6VlxI7K

Re-emerging on science twitter to show off my pretty poster (if I do say so myself) for @ESASRB @ReproductionSRB 2022 💅🏻 I am having an awesome time! 🤩 #srb2022

[Professor Natalie Hannan, PhD, GAICD @DrNatHannan]

Another incredible presentation in the @ReproductionSRB @ANZPRA1 New Investigator Award session by @LachlanSchofie4 Sharing his exciting work on the role of Pro-Renin Receptor in placental development and pathology 👏🏼👏🏼

SRB Newcastle Award Session: @scientistjessie on the wonderful work her group did in ovary biology and egg ageing, and a new avenue towards fertility education for preventable infertility. @ESASRB #SRB2022

Huge thank you to my amazing coauthors! ☺️ @scientistjessie @CaesarsScience @BrettNixon13 @egbromfield @eileenamcl @shandi92

We also generated an in vitro chloroquine treatment model to mimic the mechanism of these changes.🧫📊 Overall, our findings indicate that autophagy is dysfunctional in aged oocytes + provides new info to aid with improvement of #pooroocytequality in #agerelatedinfertility! (2/2)

My amazing Mum graduated with a Masters of Public Health last night!!! So proud of her! ☺️💗

[Natalie Trigg @NATrigg]

The @PRCRepro PhD crew (with a few missing) celebrating at our Christmas party last week.
I’ve throughly enjoyed working along side such a great group of like minded people 😍

[Alexandra Peters @AlexEPeters]

SO PROUD OF YOU EMMA!!!!! ❤️

[Alexandra Peters @AlexEPeters]

Congratulations Emma I am very proud of you!!!! 😌❤️ it was an honour to nominate you the MVP award! You are very deserving ☺️

[Alexandra Peters @AlexEPeters]

@ArtDecider @EmmaOolemma I feel honoured 🙏🏻

It’s national fertility week! My research focuses on the contribution of autophagy to poor egg quality; a hallmark of female fertility decline with age. Here’s a little pic of me and the eggs I’m working on today 🥚💖#fertilityweek2020 #femalefertility #fertilityresearch

@Chapman_Histo hahaha yes!! it gets like that 😂

Dr Karl, a man after my own heart 🍵❤️

[Dr Karl @DoctorKarl]

Neither. I drink real tea, made from loose tea leaves.

[Alexandra Peters @AlexEPeters]

@PRCRepro gang watching our very own @egbromfield present in the Newcastle award session of @ReproductionSRB !! Such an excellent talk and I’m especially impressed since it was 3am your time 😭😂

[Alexandra Peters @AlexEPeters]

@NATrigg @RoisinGriffin5 Amazing talk Roisin!!! ☺️

[Natalie Trigg @NATrigg]

Ready for @ReproductionSRB virtual awards day 3 💻 Supporting our own @RoisinGriffin5 in the ART gamete award 🔬

[Alexandra Peters @AlexEPeters]

Amazing job @NATrigg !! 😊

[Brett Nixon @BrettNixon13]

So proud of @NATrigg presenting her exciting PhD research on the mechanistic responses of the epididymis (and the embryo) to paternal stressors in the #srb new investigator award session

[Alexandra Peters @AlexEPeters]

@NATrigg @EmmaOolemma @DavidSkerrettB What a good-looking bunch!! 😂😏💁🏼‍♀️
