Biography
Professor Lois Salamonsen received her Bachelor of Science degree with first class honours in Biochemistry from Otago University (New Zealand) and her PhD in Reproductive Biology from Monash University, Australia.
Research Interest
Her research focuses on human uterine/endometrial biology, specifically on mechanisms underlying endometrial remodelling, including menstruation, endometrial repair, endometrial receptivity for implantation and endometriosis. These findings aim to address a range of clinical problems, including infertility, abnormal uterine bleeding, endometriosis and development of new non-hormonal contraceptives for women. A strong current focus on biomarker discovery will provide markers to guide clinicians in diagnosis and decision making.
