Meet the OvaNet Developer
Hi!
I'm Janice, the developer of the OvaNet platform. We have just started this amazing project, and I thought it would be nice to introduce myself:
I am Brazilian, living in Belgium for almost 7 years now. I always liked technology, but what guided my career path was my passion for… dolphins. 🐬
I never got to actually work with dolphins, but they guided my career choices for a long time. I graduated in Veterinary Medicine, and that was when I fell in love with reproduction physiology. I got a Master's Degree in Compared Animal Physiology (2012), where I studied the toxicology of BPA in the reproduction of male and female wild mice; then I got my PhD in Animal Biology (2016), studying fertility preservation techniques for female cats as a model for endangered felids. In 2018 I started a PostDoc here in Belgium, studying the transportation of ovarian tissue prior to cryopreservation — my main research topic until 2022, with Ovanet's co-founder Christiani Amorim. Afterwards I decided to take a different path and spent the past three years studying Dutch and Computer Science.
Although I have changed my career path, I never lost my passion for this very subject, and I find it magical how Life can lead us in the most unexpected ways. My path led me back to fertility preservation, merging my passion for science and reproduction and my life-long interest for technology.
I'm here to help create this platform tailored to our needs — so let me know what you think!
- What do you wish to see in this virtual platform?
- How do you think we can address OvaNet's mission?
- What do you feel is essential for integrating the knowledge and practice to improve fertility preservation worldwide?
