About

Rajwa is completing a DPhil in Women's and Reproductive Health at the University of Oxford. She holds a bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences, specialising in Development, Regeneration and Stem Cells, from the University of Edinburgh, and a master's in Clinical Embryology, also from Oxford. Her doctoral research focuses on developing a 3D organoid culture model to study spermatogonial stem cell maintenance and spermatogenesis in vitro, working towards improving fertility outcomes for prepubertal boys with cancer.  Alongside her research, Rajwa has worked with a healthcare venture capital fund focused on women's health, evaluating the science behind early-stage fertility and women's health startups to support investment decisions.

The Boys Who Lost Fatherhood Before They Understood It
A boy diagnosed with cancer at seven years old is not thinking about fatherhood. His parents are not thinking about it either, not really, not while they are absorbing a diagnosis and bracing for treatment. And yet, tucked into that first wave of decisions, is one about a future so distant it barely feels real: whether to try to preserve his fertility before treatment takes it away. I recently completed a DPhil in reproductive science, alongside a master's in clinical embryology.
