We have recently established the Trinity Centre for Reproductive Sciences and Womens Health (ww.tcd.ie/TCRW). Our research group focuses on translational reproductive science, investigating the interactions between reproductive hormones, metabolism and health across the lifespan, with the aim of improving diagnosis, treatment and long-term outcomes.
Our current research spans several areas. In PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) we are investigating the immunological mechanisms underlying the condition, and exploring 'inflammaging' in the condition. We are also exploring the relationship between obesity and fertility, including the potential benefits of preconception weight management and the psychological impact of living with these conditions. Our menopause research focuses on the relationship between perimenopause and cognition, and longitudinal cardiovascular and metabolic health. Our future research will also encompass male factor infertility.
Our research is embedded within specialist clinical services at St James's Hospital and Trinity College Dublin, and supported by multidisciplinary collaborations through the Trinity Centre for Reproductive Sciences and Women's Health. We combine clinical studies, patient cohorts, epidemiological approaches and bench science to address clinically important questions and improve patient care.
Potential project themes include:
Immunometabolic dysfunction and inflammaging in PMOS
Male reproductive endocrinology and infertility
Perimenopause, cognitive function and brain health
Menopause, hormone therapy and long-term health outcomes
Obesity, metabolic dysfunction and female fertility
