Dr Haidee Tinning is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Leeds, where she investigates the impact of heat stress on the peri-implantation period in pigs as a model species, working in the group of Professor Niamh Forde (now at the University of Edinburgh). She earned her MBiol in 2018 and PhD in 2024 at the University of Leeds, with research focused on conceptus-endometrial communication during early pregnancy. Haidee’s research combines advanced in vitro models (including organoids and endometrium-on-a-chip microfluidic systems) with molecular biology and multi-omic approaches to explore endometrial function and its role in pregnancy success. Her current work examines how climate change-related heat stress affects reproductive tissues, including the endometrium and placenta, to better understand the impact of environmental stressors on fertility and long-term offspring health.
