1. Revealing the molecular mechanism of controlled tissue morphogenesis in ovaries, and understand how the changing ovarian environment promotes oocyte quality leading to diagnostic and therapeutic means to enhance the health of women and their babies in natural fertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology settings
2. Generating a full understanding of the mechanism of ovulation of matured oocytes and discover molecular targets and new drugs that block ovulation leading to improved, safer and acute acting contraceptives.
3. Understanding development and progression of cancers of reproductive organs
My research group focuses broadly on intercellular communication, cell-matrix interactions and resulting cell signalling and morphogenesis both in normal function and cancer of the reproductive organs.
Our primary focus is on the cyclic remodelling of the ovary during folliculogenesis, atresia, ovulation and luteinisation. Together these processes determine reproductive success and the health the oocyte and hence a healthy start to life.
Australia has one of the highest rates of dependence on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) internationally, resulting in over 4,000 births (~3%) annually. Gamete insufficiency is the main cause of infertility and determinant of embryo health and subsequent ART success. Infertility and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) are both extremely common in the Australian population and both associate with dysregulated ovarian tissue remodelling. Infertility treatment carries serious risks for women due to hormone stimulations, surgical procedures and multiple pregnancies. All the above may be prevented through our work, by understanding the mechanisms of ovarian function and dysfunction and perfecting therapies to address these directly.
Additionally, contraception is among the most important medical drivers of health and economic development through advancing women’s health and opportunities for education and employment through family planning. Existing contraceptive technologies are not suitable in many circumstances, meaning that nearly a quarter billion women live with unmet need for contraception. Our research applies functional genomics and drug screening approaches to identify new molecular targets and drugs that can directly block ovulation. The ultimate goal is to improve accessibility, convenience of use and risk of side effects so that women who need it most have access to effective family planning.
Our Aims :
1.To generate a full understanding of the mechanism of hormone action that control the unique function of the ovary and discover molecular targets and new drugs that block ovulation leading to safer contraceptives with reduced undesirable off-target effects and acute action.
2. To reveal the molecular mechanism of controlled tissue morphogenesis in ovaries, and understand how the changing ovarian environment promotes oocyte quality leading to diagnostic and therapeutic means to enhance the health of women and their babies in natural fertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology settings
Specific Research Projects are Addressing:
· Discovery of molecular targets and drug candidates for blocking ovulation leading to development of improved contraception.
· Identifying biomarkers of oocyte developmental competence
· Molecular mechanisms of ovulation
3. Understanding development and progression of cancers of reproductive organs
Extracellular matrix remodelling and tissue morphogenesis also cause metastases of reproductive organ cancers. Cancer of the breast, prostate, ovary and female reproductive tract account for more than 40% of all cancers in the Australian population (Cancer in Australia: an overview 2006. AIHW Publications 2006;37:144). One in eight Australian women will develop breast cancer and one in 9 men will develop prostate cancer. Each year 3000 women die from breast cancer, and a similar number of men die from prostate cancer, Cancer that progresses to metastatic stage in breast, ovary, prostate or reproductive tracts are often incurable and thus my work also focuses on understanding how cancers become metastatic and how this can be prevented to improve ageing productively.
Our research seeks to understand the biological basis underlying the cause and mechanism of progression to metastatic disease. The changes that arise in malignant tissue to endow their capacity to degrade local extracellular matrix barriers and invade local blood and/or lymphatic vessels for transport to distal sites is under investigation. We aim to develop tests to identify the risk of metastatic disease as well as antimetastatic therapies that specifically target the capacity of tumor cells to invade local tissues, to migrate and to populate new tissues.
Specific research projects are addressing:
· The interaction of tumor cells with local non-malignant stromal tissues
· Proteases of the Adamts family that facilitate degradation of peritumoral ECM
· Tumor mediated angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis
