Dr. Izabela Milogrodzka is a Research Fellow in the School of Science at RMIT University, currently focusing on advancing cryopreservation methods for bovine oocytes and embryos. With a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Monash University and over eight years of interdisciplinary experience in biotechnology and materials science, she brings a deep expertise in developing innovative biomaterials and advanced research techniques. Her prior role as a Beamline Scientist at the Australian Synchrotron involved pioneering work with SAXS/WAXS and BioSAXS beamlines, where she implemented cutting-edge methods like Rheology-SAXS for studying structural changes in complex biological samples. Izabela’s diverse background includes industrial experience in biomaterials R&D at BIOVICO, Poland, and practical training in polymer science at CSIRO, Australia. Her research consistently aims to enhance therapeutic applications and improve preservation methods within biomedical and biotechnological contexts.
