Biography

Dr. Amy Winship is a Senior Research Fellow at Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute, holding the Al & Val Rosenstrauss Fellowship from the Rebecca Cooper Foundation. She obtained her PhD from Hudson Institute of Medical Research in 2016, with pivotal work defining cytokine functions within the reproductive tract, leading to significant publications in various scientific journals. Her recent research is at the forefront of fertility preservation, focusing on the ovarian toxicity profiles of new cancer therapies, notably PARP inhibitors and immunotherapies. Dr. Winship’s groundbreaking findings indicate that immune checkpoint inhibitors can cause irreversible ovarian damage, raising critical concerns about infertility and early menopause among patients. Her current research aims to identify mechanisms for uterine protection to improve fertility preservation and enhance pregnancy outcomes in cancer survivors. She also explores the role of DNA repair in ovarian germline quality and provides essential insights for BRCA mutation carriers grappling with cancer risks. Her work contributes directly to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, emphasizing her commitment to advancing reproductive health and cancer survivorship globally.
