Katie Harvey

I have been an academic at Canterbury Christ Church University since September 2014.

I am a Reader in Reproductive Science in the School of Psychology and Life Sciences (PLS), am the Course Director for the Biomedical Science and Human Biology courses, and am the equality, diversity and inclusion lead for the School.

I obtained my PhD in 2011 at the University of Kent, after which I was a postdoctoral research associate at the same institution from 2011-2014 working in the field of embryology.

Currently, I teach on the following modules:

Human Reproduction and Development (Level 6) - Module Director
Animal Reproduction and Development (Level 6) - Module Director
Human Genetics (Level 5) - Module Director
Genetics of Animal Breeding (Level 5) - Module Director
Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (Level 5)

My research focusses on mammalian embryology, with a focus on time lapse imaging and oocyte and embryo vitrification. My research is undertaken in collaboration with Genea Biomedx, a human IVF company and Topigs Norsvin, a swine genetics company.

My work directly relates to the Human Biology and Animal Science Programmes ran at CCCU.
