After obtaining her Bachelor of Science in Melbourne, Professor Eva Dimitriadis gained eight years experience as a research assistant in Melbourne, Munich and Dublin before completing her PhD studies at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. She undertook post-doctoral studies at the University of Dublin before returning to Australia to undertake research in reproductive biology at Prince Henry’s Institute, now Hudson Institute of Medical Research. Prof Dimitriadis has a passion for understanding infertility, the factors that contribute to making the endometrium receptive to an implanting embryo and endometrial-trophoblast interactions during implantation. Her research program includes investigating non-invasive biomarkers of implantation potential. She has a strong focus on microRNA regulation of these processes and investigating novel sustained release targeted delivery options. A number of her projects have a clinical translational focus, and have moved into pre-clinical trials.
