About Janice

Dr. Janice Royds is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine at the Dunedin School of Medicine, University of Otago, within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Division. She holds a BSc with First Class Honours and a PhD, and possesses a background in biochemistry and molecular pathology with over 35 years of experience in academic teaching and research in cancer biology. Previously serving as a lecturer in the department, Royds has made significant contributions to understanding molecular mechanisms in cancer through her affiliation with the Slatter and Hung Laboratory for Molecular Pathogenesis. The laboratory investigates telomere maintenance in glioblastoma and uterine cancers and its implications for tumor behavior, including metastasis and recurrence. Additional research explores cell fate decisions in precancerous lesions, cancer development, placental tissue, and autoimmune diseases, including the role of human papillomavirus in placental pathology and pregnancy complications via the Otago Placental Study cohort established with collaborators.
