Dr Jacqueline Donoghue
Dr Donoghues research focus is uterine disease mechanisms and treatments (endometriosis, adenomyosis and fibroids), the role of immune cells in endometrial health (fertility and lesion development) and she currently leads research into endometriosis somatic mutation profiling of endometriotic lesions and the evaluation of the endocannabinoid system in endometriosis associated pain. Dr Donoghue has extensive experience in oncogenic cell signalling, characterisation of oncogenic mutation functional activity and the development of high throughput compound and molecular screens for the identification of novel druggable targets. This research has involved the development of unique endometriosis cell lines (including 3D organoids) and the establishment of physiological relevant murine models for therapeutic evaluation. Dr Donoghue’s research goal is to develop translatable therapeutics to improve endometriosis patient lives.
