Assistant Professor of Physics, University of Tampa
My research interests lie in understanding how the universe begins and evolves through the most energetic astrophysical explosions: gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), supernovae, merging neutron stars and black holes. My main research utilizes GRBs detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, a multi-wavelength space telescope dedicated to studying GRBs and the transient sky. GRBs are seen from within our neighborhood of galaxies to the early universe when the rst stars were expected to form (Fig. 1). I use GRBs to explore the history of the universe, and study how nature can form these energetic bursts from either the collapse of massive stars or merging of compact objects like neutron stars and black holes.

Assistant professor, Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology, Carleton University
Our research centers on basic and applied questions related to contaminants in the environment. We use tools from environmental chemistry and toxicology to understand (1) where contaminants come from and where they go, (2) who gets exposed, and (3) the biological implications after exposure.
We explore routes of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a diverse class of over 8000 chemicals. PFAS have strong carbon-fluorine bonds that make them useful in many products, imparting grease- and water-resistance. But the same properties make some PFAS environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative.
Due to the structural diversity of PFAS, we use them as chemical probes to understand the underpinnings of biological transformation pathways. We elucidate enzymes and organisms responsible for transformation to explore biological mechanisms and conditions that may reduce the burden of PFAS contamination.
We also use biological models to study how exposure to one or more pollutants impacts signaling pathways involved in cell stress. Analytical chemistry and biochemical tools are coupled to gain insights into the mechanism of action of pollutants and their biological targets.
We are committed to doing environmental research with broad impact and for use in management decisions. To do so, we frequently collaborate with other academics, non-profit organizations, and government agencies.

Group Leader and Senior Research Fellow, Anatomy and Developmental Biology, Monash University
Dr Amy Winship is a Rebecca Cooper Foundation Al & Val Rosenstrauss Fellow and Group Leader in reproductive biology at Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute.
She obtained her PhD in 2016 at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research, defining cytokine functions in the reproductive tract (PNAS 2015, Scientific Reports 2015) and reproductive cancer (Molecular Cancer Therapeutics 2016).
Her recent research has been at the forefront of the fertility preservation field in identifying ovarian toxicity profiles of new-line cancer therapies, including PARP inhibitors and immunotherapies. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionised cancer therapy – harnessing the patient’s own immune cells to mount an anti-tumour response. Using preclinical models, Dr Winship's research made the ground-breaking discovery that ICIs cause irreversible ovarian damage, raising concerns that people treated with these agents may be at increased risk of infertility and comorbidities related to early menopause (Nature Cancer 2022).
Dr Winship’s current research proposes that uterine protection is the missing link to effective fertility preservation for healthy pregnancy for cancer survivors. Her teams’ analysis of clinical pregnancy outcomes shows survivors experience increased rates of infertility and obstetric complications after cancer therapy, even after using currently available fertility preservation methods, including embryo transfers from cryopreserved or donor oocytes (eggs), unexposed to cancer therapies (Human Reproduction Update 2020). This research has overturned dogma that because of its’ cyclical and regenerative nature, the endometrium – the inner lining of the uterus – does not sustain permanent damage. By designing unique preclinical models (Reproduction & Fertility 2022) and using primary human tissues, we showed the first empirical evidence that radiotherapy causes direct, lasting uterine damage (JCI Insight 2023), leading to new clinical guidelines for patients and clinicians (Human Reproduction Open 2020).
Her other recent research has examined the essential role of DNA repair capacity in regulating quality control of the ovarian germline (Human Reproduction Update 2018). She recently revealed evidence that loss of BRCA1 exacerbates age-related decline in oocyte number and quality. This is important knowledge to support BRCA mutation carriers, who already face higher risks of developing breast and ovarian cancer, to make informed decicions about their fertility (eBioMedicine 2024). In addition, her work uncovered the first evidence for a key role of intrinsic DNA break repair in response to endogenous DNA damage (i.e. resulting from normal cellular processes) to safeguard primordial follicle oocyte number, genetic integrity and reproductive capacity (Human Reproduction 2020).
