Scholar-generated biography
Elizabeth Bromfield is a Senior Lecturer at the Bio21 Institute, School of BioSciences, The University of Melbourne, with research interests in Reproductive Biology, Protein homeostasis, Cell death, Lipid biochemistry, and Redox biology. Her work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying gamete function, fertility, and reproductive health. Key areas of focus include the role of oxidative stress in male and female germ cells, the impact of environmental toxins on oocyte health, and the contributions of extracellular vesicles in reproductive processes. Bromfield's research also investigates the function of heat shock proteins, such as HSPA2, in sperm-egg interactions and the regulation of cell death pathways in the testis. Her studies aim to improve assisted reproductive technologies and address infertility challenges.
