Kiri is a graduate from the University of Sydney, whose Ph.D. described the function and fertility of spermatozoa that had been sex-sorted for use in animal breeding programs. She has worked at the University of Sheffield studying the maternal-gamete interactions between sperm and the reproductive tract; and within the School of Veterinary Medicine in Hannover, quantifying the gene expression of in vitro and in vivo produced embryos. Following a casual lectureship in reproductive endocrinology at the University of Sydney, Kiri completed a graduate diploma in science communication at the Australian National University. She joined ORIGIO Australasia as a product consultant and account manager in 2010, and in 2013 moved to Copenhagen to work as the international product manager of culture systems for ORIGIO a/s. Her aim today is advancing the performance and usability of commercial embryo culture media, through strong communication between global markets and industry.
