EUOGS 4th National Undergraduate Conference:
EXPLORING INFLAMMATION
IN REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE Saturday 27th January 2018
Chancellor’s Building, Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

Welcome
We are delighted to welcome you to EUOGS’ 4th National Undergraduate
Conference!
Our theme this year is “Exploring Inflammation in Reproductive
Medicine”. Inflammation is an integral part of reproductive physiology,
necessary for normal ovulation, menstruation and parturition. However, it
also plays a sinister role in many reproductive pathologies, including
preterm labour, miscarriage and pre-eclampsia; and targetting
inflammation may be one strategy in the management of these conditions.
Thus, we believe it is a fascinating area of O&G, and are excited to
welcome numerous accomplished speakers to better understand this field.
We are also fortunate to welcome many gifted students presenting their
own innovative research, and will be hosting several workshops exploring a
variety of essential O&G skills. Therefore we encourage you to make the
most of the opportunities available today; be curious, ask questions, take
part, and most importantly – have fun!
We hope that what you learn today may strengthen your passion for O&G.
Best wishes,
Amanda Leow Lily Hua Nazia Zahed, Amy Shearer

Guest speakers Professor Hilary Critchley
“Abnormal menstrual bleeding: still an unmet clinical need”
Professor of Reproductive Medicine, University of Edinburgh
Honorary Consultant Gynaecologist, Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, NHS Lothian, Scotland
Head of Deanery of Clinical Sciences (Edinburgh Medical School; University of Edinburgh)
Co-Deputy Director, MRC Centre for Reproductive Health at University of Edinburgh
Professor Hilary Critchley’s research programme focuses upon
local uterine mechanisms involved in menstruation, abnormal
uterine bleeding and implantation. Major contributions have been
made to understanding the local endometrial response to
withdrawal of progesterone, both physiological and
pharmacological. Study of the local effects of pharmacological
steroid receptor modulation in uterine tissues has informed
development of novel treatment strategies for problematic uterine
bleeding and in the field of endometrial contraception. Recent
studies have included further development of models for studying
menstruation and uterine bleeding. She has over 250 peer-
reviewed publications.
She has Co-Chaired an International Agreement Process for
terminologies /definitions and a classification system for
abnormalities of menstrual bleeding supported throughout by the
International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) and
remains a member of the FIGO Menstrual Disorders Committee
(MDC). She is a Past-Coordinator of the European Society of
Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) Special Interest
Group Endometriosis & Endometrium. She was a Council Member
of the Society for Gynaecologic Investigation (2010-2013). She is a
current member of the University of Cambridge Centre for
Trophoblast Research (CTR) Scientific Advisory Board; an
immediate past Board member of the World Endometriosis Society
(WES) and current Board member of the Society for Endometriosis
and Uterine Disorders (SEUD).
Her expertise in the field of endometrial biology and reproductive
medicine has been nationally and internationally recognised. In
2009 she was elected to the Fellowship of The Academy of Medical
Sciences (UK) and in 2012 she was elected to the Fellowship of
The Royal Society of Edinburgh.

International Society of Psycho-neuroendocrinology in recognition
of this work. She is Chair of the Diabetes UK Clinical Studies
Group ‘Causes of Diabetes’. Her work spans ‘process to
population’, e.g. experimental medicine studies in pregnant women
and their children, detailed mechanistic studies using placental
tissue, randomised controlled trials testing interventions in
pregnancy to improve outcomes and epidemiological data-linkage
