Eileen McLaughlin

Eileen Anne McLaughlin is a Scottish molecular biology academic working in Australia. As of 2021 she is a professor at the University of Wollongong.

Academic career

After a 1993 PhD titled '' 'The effect of cryopreservation on human spermatozoa' '' at the University of Bristol, McLaughlin moved to Australia for a postdoctoral position at the CSIRO working on virally vectored immunocontraceptives in wildlife feral animal control. McLaughlin was recruited to University of Newcastle in 2002, where she remains an honorary professor. In 2017, McLaughlin became Director of the School of Biological Sciences at University of Auckland. She returned to Australia to serve as Dean of science at the University of Canberra in 2018. Following that appointment, McLaughlin became Dean of science at the University of Western Sydney in 2019. As of September 2021, McLaughlin serves as Executive Dean, science, medicine and health at the University of Wollongong.

Much of McLaughlin's research involves in vitro understanding of the principals of assisted reproduction and the maintenance of gamete quality.
