Carolyn is a Health Scientist and researcher who is passionate about the rising rate of infertility around the world. Her recent Journal publication highlights the potential effects that MTHFR polymorphisms may have on fertility in both men and women. She has completed her Honours thesis where she documented the forms and doses of folate that practitioners in Australia are prescribing for women with infertility and MTHFR polymorphisms, the results suggest that 5-MTHF is being used over folic acid and at higher doses to achieve a successful pregnancy and live birth. Carolyn is currently furthering this research at UTS, where she is completing her PhD.
