Professor Patrick Western’s research focuses on understanding the epigenetic processes underlying ovary function and the reproductive health impact of transmitted epigenetic information. He leads the Germ Cell Development Epigenetics Group at the Centre for Reproductive Health, Hudson Institute of Medical Research. His work employs genetic and pharmacological models to address primary areas such as epigenetic programming of germline impacts on offspring development and the mechanisms regulating ovarian development and function. Western’s projects aim to provide mechanistic insights necessary for comprehending the impacts of epigenetic programming on reproductive health and disease inheritance. He completed his PhD on temperature-dependent sex determination in American alligators under the supervision of Professors Andrew Sinclair and Jennifer Graves, followed by postdoctoral training at the Wellcome Trust Gurdon Institute, Cambridge University, specializing in epigenetic reprogramming.
