Academic career

[edit]

After a 1993 PhD titled 'The effect of cryopreservation on human spermatozoa' at the University of Bristol, McLaughlin moved to Australia for a postdoctoral position at the CSIRO working on virally vectored immunocontraceptives in wildlife feral animal control. McLaughlin was recruited to University of Newcastle in 2002,[1] where she remains an honorary professor. In 2017, McLaughlin became Director of the School of Biological Sciences at University of Auckland.[2] She returned to Australia to serve as Dean of science at the University of Canberra in 2018.[3] Following that appointment, McLaughlin became Dean of science at the University of Western Sydney in 2019.[4] As of September 2021, McLaughlin serves as Executive Dean, science, medicine and health at the University of Wollongong.[5]

Much of McLaughlin's research involves in vitro understanding of the principals of assisted reproduction and the maintenance of gamete quality.
