Wipawee "Joy" Winuthayanon
Dr. Winuthayanon completed a Bachelor of Nursing Science from Ramathibodi School of Nursing in 2002 and her Ph.D. (Physiology) from Faculty of Science in 2009 both from Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. Because of her interest in women’s health, she underwent training in midwifery for several months during her final year of nursing school. To integrate basic science knowledge with clinical relevance, she has directed her interests towards a career path in reproductive sciences focusing on reproductive physiology in women. Her post-doctoral research at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS/NIH) was focusing on the estrogen and phytoestrogen effects on female reproductive function using mouse models. She started her lab at the School of Molecular Biosciences at Washington State University in 2015 and she has recently moved to the University of Missouri in 2022. Her research program sets out to decipher the roles of hormonal regulation in the oviduct and uterus during fertilization, preimplantation embryo development, and embryo transport using genetically engineered animal models. Her research team is also developing new “on-demand” contraceptive methods for women by targeting the semen liquefaction process.
