Caroline joined the Faculty of Life Sciences as a Research Fellow in 2006 and took a Lectureship in October 2009. Previously based at the University of Oxford, she studied Chemistry (BA, Wadham College, 1988) and obtained a DPhil in Biochemistry (Wolfson College, 1991). Caroline was a Research Fellow at the MRC Immunochemistry Unit in Oxford (funded by MRC and the Nuffield Foundation) from 1991 until her move to Manchester in 2006. Her current research is funded by grants from MRC and ARUK. Her work focuses on mammalian reproduction, particularly understanding the mechanisms underlying ovulation and central female fertility. She is interested in the cumulus matrix's role, especially hyaluronan's (HA) properties and the proteins necessary for matrix stability, such as TSG-6, which is critical for ovulation in mice. Additionally, her research addresses musculoskeletal diseases like arthritis and osteoporosis, exploring TSG-6 as a protective agent in inflammatory responses and potential therapeutic target for developing new treatments for osteoporosis and arthritis.
