Nipunika Wickramaarachchi

I am an enthusiastic PhD candidate in the School of Medicine at the University of Adelaide, based at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital. My doctoral research examines the effects of hormonal interventions on the quality of life of adolescents with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), aiming to generate evidence that can inform clinical practice and improve adolescent health outcomes.
 
I hold a Master of Philosophy in Health Sciences and a Bachelor of Science (Hons) from leading public universities in Sri Lanka. My research interests encompass adolescent health, women’s health, endocrinology disease prevention, and quality-of-life assessment.
My academic journey reflects a strong track record in women’s health research, supported by extensive expertise in clinical and translational studies within adolescent sexual and reproductive health. This is evidenced by my contributions to peer-reviewed Q1 publications and presentations at national and international conferences.
 
With a multidisciplinary background and a commitment to advancing health equity, I aspire to make a lasting impact on reproductive health outcomes, particularly among marginalized communities, by bridging evidence, practice, and policy.
