Teresa Vilanova Perez

DPhil Student

I joined the Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health in October 2017 to study for a DPhil under the guidance of Dr Kevin Coward. My research focuses on utilising exosomes for non-invasive compound delivery into gametes. This novel tool has the potential to be used for reproductive purposes and thus treat fertility-associated problems.

I have completed an MSc (Hons) in Biotechnology of Human Assisted Reproduction and Embryology (IVI Institute) and a degree in Biotechnology at the University of Valencia. Moreover, I have taken part in developing a programme for fertility preservation for prepubertal boys with cancer at Hospital La Fe (Institute of Sanitary Research, IIS La Fe, Valencia) leaded by Prof. Antonio Pellicer.

I am the Trainee Representative of the British Andrology Society, the president of the Oxford University Spanish Society, the joint partner of the Student committee of the NDWRH, and also a member of the European Society of Human Reproduction (ESHRE) the Society of Fertility and Reproduction (SRF) and the Society of Spanish Researchers in United Kingdom (SRUK).
