Dali Lemon-Morgan
DPhil Student
Dali is a first year DPhil student on the NERC Doctoral Training Partnership and supported by a scholarship from Reuben College.
Her research, based in the department of Women's and Reproductive Health, focuses on improving ovarian tissue cryopreservation to support fertility preservation in endangered mammals. In collaboration with Dr. Suzannah Williams, this project investigates how metabolic conditioning prior to cryoprotectant exposure can enhance oocyte survival post-cryopreservation. In partnership with Chester Zoo, the research aims to develop species-specific cryopreservation protocols that can be used to safeguard reproductive potential and genetic diversity in non-model and threatened species.
Dali holds a First-Class Honours degree in Biological Sciences from the University of Bristol, where she developed a strong interest in reproductive biology and conservation science.
