Biography

Professor Evelyn Telfer heads a research group in Ovarian Development within the Institute of Cell Biology and Genes and Development Group at the University of Edinburgh. Her group has a particular interest in developing in vitro models to support oocyte development from immature stages in both human and domestic species. Professor Telfer's group has developed a culture system that supports the in vitro growth of human primordial follicles to the Metaphase II stage. She utilizes these models to study the potential of female germ line stem cells isolated from adult ovaries across a range of species. Evelyn Telfer has published widely in this area and is a regular invited speaker at international meetings. Her research has been funded by the Medical Research Council in the U.K. and she has received awards at international meetings, being honored with the Society for Reproduction and Fertility's “Distinguished Scientist Award 2019” during the Anne McLaren Memorial Lecture at the Joint Fertility Societies Meeting in January 2019.
