Suzannah Williams

Dr. Williams (BSc Zoology, University of Aberdeen) completed her PhD at the Royal Veterinary College, London investigating nutritional regulation of ovarian function using sheep as a model for human. This involved collaborative studies in Glasgow, Dublin and Perth, Australia. In 2008, Dr. Williams moved to the University of Oxford where she established her research group in the Dept of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics investigating the role of the oocyte in regulating fertility and ovarian function supported by a MRC New Investigator grant. In 2011, Dr. Williams moved to the Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health (previously Obstetrics and Gynaecology).

​Dr. Williams continues to work on premature ovarian insufficiency and understanding ovarian function in health and disease. Dr. Williams has also expanded her programme of research to study human ovarian function and now leads the Oxford Ovarian Fertility Preservation Research Programme to develop and improve techniques for human fertility preservation.
