Agnes completed a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Biomedical Sciences - Developmental Biology, at the University of Aberdeen in 2010. Agnes then received her PhD from the University of Edinburgh in 2014. Her PhD project focused on establishing a novel embryonic mouse ovary culture system, to examine the effects of pharmaceutical and environmental compounds on the developing ovary in vitro. Following the completion of her PhD, Agnes worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow exploring the potential for tyrosine kinase signalling to protect the ovary from cisplatin-induced damage. In 2018, Agnes became a Lecturer in Reproductive Biology, where she is the Course Organiser for several Junior and Senior Honours courses. In addition, Agnes contributes to a wide range of reproductive biology teaching across undergraduate and postgraduate courses at the University.
