Biography
Dr Jamie Chapman is a lecturer in Human Anatomy in the School of Medicine. He is coordinator of first year Human Biology and coordinates and teaches histology in the first two years of Medicine. While his research now largely focuses on technology enhanced learning and teaching, Dr Chapman also has expertise in biological light and electron microscopy techniques. He has been recognised for his excellence and innovation in teaching through national (Office of Learning and Teaching) and local (Vice-Chancellor) citations for outstanding contributions to student learning and is an Apple Distinguished Educator.
Research Interest
Dr Chapman's research interests align with the university's research theme of Better Health and have primarily focused on the cell biology of marsupial reproduction and, in particular, the structure and functions of the egg, its surrounding vestments (perivitelline space, zona pellucida, mucoid coat, shell membrane) and the contribution to these from the upper reproductive tracts. He has especially been interested in the glycoconjugate composition of the zona pellucida during oocyte development and its changes during transit through the oviduct. Much of his research involves electron microscopy, his main area of expertise.
