CRH Seminar: Professor Jane Girling

Professor Jane Girling, Faculty of Biomedical Sciences, University of Otago | Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka 

Jane Girling is a reproductive biologist whose research focuses on uterine function, particularly in relation to common gynaecological conditions such as endometriosis, pelvic pain, and abnormal menstrual bleeding. Recognising the importance of diverse perspectives in understanding menstrual cycle health, her research programme integrates both biological and psychosocial approaches. She is interested in how menstrual pain and bleeding disorders affect individuals and their families, and in developing better ways to provide information and resources that support wāhine and enhance quality of life. Jane co-founded the Menstrual Health Research Network and is excited to be co-leading the establishment of the new Centre for Menstrual Cycle Research at the University of Otago.
