Career Summary
Biography
Jacinta is a Post-doctoral researcher in the Priority Research Centre for Reproductive Sciences. Jacinta works with a multidisciplinary group of researchers using human and animal models to characterise the processes of gamete maturation (the process by which oocytes and spermatozoa are formed).
Prior to returning to UON in 2021, Jacinta was a Post doctoral research fellow in the laboratory of Professor Rima Slim at the McGill University Health Centre and McGill University in Montreal, Canada (2019-2021). Here her research centred on elucidating the role of meiosis genes in the ontogenesis of molar pregnancies. A molar pregnancy — also known as hydatidiform mole — is a rare complication of pregnancy characterized by the abnormal growth of trophoblasts, the cells that normally develop into the placenta. Jacinta’s work focused on determining the specific mechanisms behind recurrent mole formation using unique mouse models and RNA sequencing technologies.
Prior to relocating to Canada, Jacinta worked as part of the Mothers and Babies Research Centre at the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI) under the auspices of the Priority Research Centre for Reproductive Sciences. Together with Associate Professor Kirsty Pringle, Jacinta’s research focused on understanding what underscores a healthy pregnancy. The Pringle group focuses on how components of the circulating renin angiotensin system (RAS),a hormone network that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance, functions to ensure healthy placental development. Unfortunately a significant proportion of pregnancies are affected by complications arising from inadequate placentation (placenta formation), with significant adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. During her tenure in the Pringle group, Jacinta’s goal was to contribute to the development of innovate new laboratory models of preeclampsia so that the group might uncover how key components of the RAS contribute to placental formation and the development of this pathology. Such a model would also enable us to uncover novel biomarkers of adverse pregnancy outcomes and to test new candidate therapies to prevent disease formation and progression in these women.
Previous Experience: I completed a Bachelor of Biotechnology (Honours) and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) under the supervision of Prof. Brett Nixon, Dr Elizabeth Bromfield and L. Prof. John Aitken at the University of Newcastle, Australia in 2019. My doctoral studies were focused on developing an understanding of the quality control mechanisms used by the egg and early embryo to ensure DNA quality. Specifically my work focused on the protective strategies afforded by efflux transporter proteins, DNA Repair pathways and the contribution of novel pro-survival factors on egg and embryo quality. These findings have provided a critical framework for the continued development of novel ways to preserve egg/embryo quality in the clinic and thus may contribute to improvements in contemporary assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilisation or IVF.
My research has been recognised both nationally and internationally through publication in leading specialist and multidisciplinary journals, presentations (Australia and America), invited seminars in the United Kingdom, America and Canada, in addition to the award of competitive peer-review awards.
These include the McGill University McLaughlin Fellowship ($24,000), the McGill University Centre for Research in Reproduction Trainee Award ($7,500) and 6 equipment grants totalling $63,057. As further testament to her ability to attract competitive funding is the award of $12,500 in travel grants that allowed her to communicate her research at 28 meetings (5 international) and undertake valuable training opportunities run by the Marine Biological Laboratories (Frontiers in Reproduction; USA). Jacinta has also been the recipient of 2 philanthropic grants, the Jennie Thomas Medical Research Travel Grant, and the Greaves Family Postgraduate Scholarship in Medical Research. Jacinta has also received awards both locally and internationally for the presentation of her scientific findings at conferences, including the UON, ‘Presentation Excellence Award’ at the 20th annual Research Higher Degree conference in 2015 and the McGill University ‘Trainee Competition Award’ in 2020. Most recently Jacinta was awarded the 2021 ‘Reproduction, Fertility and Development and Society for Reproductive Biology Publication of the Year Award’.
My current research areas of interest include:
- Characterisation of the male monotreme (Short beaked Echidna and platypus) reproductive tract.
- The effects of Environmental exposures in sperm development and function.
I also maintain an active interest female gamete biology, maintenance of genomic integrity for oncofertilty management, embryogenesis and developmental biology.

BIOL2020 |
Animal Physiology and Development Faculty of Science | University of Newcastle The course provides a conceptual physiological framework for understanding the lives of animals at every level of organisation. It starts with essential chemical and physical laws that govern physiological processes in animals. These provide a foundation to understand the breadth of physiology. The course illustrates how the major physiological systems function and integrate to sustain the lives of animals. Contemporary physiological research is also considered in the course. Although the basic principles and mechanisms of major physiological systems form the central theme of this course, the importance of integrating knowledge across physiology disciplines with molecular biology, behaviour, ecology and other fields is also emphasised. |

Reproductive Physiology and Development Faculty of Science | University of Newcastle This course provides a basic understanding of reproductive physiology and development in mammals for those students who wish to major in biology, cell and molecular biology, biotechnology or environmental science. The course focuses on: the processes involved in the production of gametes and how their development is synchronized in males and females to achieve fertilization. Within this context, the course considers: the processes involved in sexual differentiation; the specialization of the male and female gametes and how they achieve fertilization and subsequent development; and the reproductive strategies which have been adopted in order to achieve fertilization and birth at the most suitable times of the year. The roles of the endocrine system and signal transduction processes in controlling reproduction are examined. Topical examples of reproductive adaptations and technologies are considered, such as the evolution of reproduction in humans, the development of contraceptive methods for humans and pest animals, and clonal technologies. |

[more] Male infertility is a commonly encountered pathology that is estimated to be a contributory factor in approximately 50% of couples seeking recourse to assisted reproductive technologies. Upon clinical presentation, such males are commonly subjected to conventional diagnostic andrological practices that rely on descriptive criteria to define their fertility based on the number of morphologically normal, motile spermatozoa encountered within their ejaculate. Despite the virtual ubiquitous adoption of such diagnostic practices, they are not without their limitations and accordingly, there is now increasing awareness of the importance of assessing sperm quality in order to more accurately predict a male¿s fertility status. This realization raises the important question of which characteristics signify a high-quality, fertilization competent sperm cell. In this review, we reflect on recent advances in our mechanistic understanding of sperm biology and function, which are contributing to a growing armory of innovative approaches to diagnose and treat male infertility. In particular we review progress toward the implementation of precision medicine; the robust clinical adoption of which in the setting of fertility, currently lags well behind that of other fields of medicine. Despite this, research shows that the application of advanced technology platforms such as whole exome sequencing and proteomic analyses hold considerable promise in optimizing outcomes for the management of male infertility by uncovering and expanding our inventory of candidate infertility biomarkers, as well as those associated with recurrent pregnancy loss. Similarly, the development of advanced imaging technologies in tandem with machine learning artificial intelligence are poised to disrupt the fertility care paradigm by advancing our understanding of the molecular and biological causes of infertility to provide novel avenues for future diagnostics and treatments.
