HELLO! I AM CHLOE.

I am a scientist at University College London working on various topics in human reproduction and population health .

A big part of my research focuses on developing new methods to better understand the 3D structure of gametes and early embryos during IVF treatment . This is tricky in a clinical setting because most 3D imaging methods are either too expensive to use in routine practice or risk damaging the embryo . These techniques can then be used to identify new non-invasive biologically-grounded markers for embryo viability and genetics .

I am also very interested in the impact that reproductive technologies have on societies and vice versa . My work here ranges from sociological investigations into why things are they way they are to more technical pieces aimed at providing practical solutions to potential harms arising from emerging reproductive technologies.

My population health research lies predominantly in developing inclusive healthcare services for LGBTQ+ populations. It involves working with both care providers and patients to devise ways to better connect with and meet the needs of those from the queer community .
