About Emily

Emily Paterson is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Surgery and Critical Care within the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Otago, Wellington, part of the Health Sciences Division. She earned her Bachelor of Biomedical Sciences with Honours (BBiomedSc (Hons)) from the University of Otago in 2021 and completed her Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) at the same institution, with a thesis titled 'Endometriosis biomarkers: extracellular vesicles and cervicovaginal fluid,' supervised by Dr Claire Henry and Dr Kirsty Danielson. Her doctoral research focused on investigating extracellular vesicles in cervicovaginal fluid as potential biomarkers for endometriosis. Paterson's academic career has progressed from honours research on extracellular vesicles in endometrial cancer to her current postdoctoral role, where she continues to advance non-invasive diagnostic methods for gynaecological conditions. Her work emphasizes the analysis of miRNA profiles, proteomics, and extracellular vesicle isolation techniques from clinical samples such as cervical brushes and vaginal swabs.
