Stasa Stankovic

Reproductive Genomicist, University of Cambridge

I am a geneticist and bioinformatician with a PhD in Reproductive Genomics from the University of Cambridge. I focus on deciphering genetic architecture of reproductive ageing and fertility, and their link to health outcomes in women. This work led to the discovery of genetic signals that influence the age women begin menopause and the first evidence of the ability to, through gene manipulation, extend reproductive lifespan and improve fertility in mice, thus paving the path towards first genetic test for the prediction of menopause time and next-generation therapeutics for ovary-centric disorders in humans.
