Dr. Denise conducted her Ph.D. at CSIRO Human Nutrition, before completing a postdoctoral fellowship with the University of Adelaide’s Research Centre for Reproductive Health. Specifically, her research investigated folate nutrigenomics, methylation and DNA damage in relation to pregnancy outcomes. She has published her work in peer-reviewed medical journals and regularly presents at national and international conferences.

In 2012 Dr. Denise shifted from academic research to founding her own business at Your Genes & Nutrition, helping patients and practitioners understand the role of nutrigenomics and genetic testing in relation to various health outcomes. In particular, Dr. Denise is passionate about helping couples achieve optimum health and wellness to improve their chances for natural conception and healthy pregnancy outcomes.

In addition, Dr. Denise holds regular educational seminars and workshops discussing the links between our genes and our environment and how these impact on our health throughout all the stages of the life cycle.
