𝑴𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑬𝒗𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆 𝑻𝒆𝒂𝒎: Morgan O'Dempsey

At Evogene, precision drives everything we do. Today, we’re excited to introduce our laboratory technician, whose expertise ensures we continue delivering reliable reproductive solutions—Powered by Precision.

📄 𝑹𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝑬𝒗𝒐𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆: As a Graduate Scientist, Morgan plays a vital role in ensuring the precision and efficiency of our IVF processes. Her responsibilities include handling, evaluating, and processing oocytes and embryos. By meticulously helping with oocyte collection, embryo culture, freezing, and storage, Morgan helps maximize reproductive success for our clients.

🎓 𝑩𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 & 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆: With 6 years in the reproduction field, Morgan has completed a Bachelor of Equine Science with UQ and recently completed her Master of Clinical Embryology with Monash. Growing up and working in a commercial cattle breeding from an early age, Morgan understands the logistical challenges in all aspects of breeding management, big and small. After graduating with her bachelor’s degree, Morgan worked in equine breeding across veterinary practices and Thoroughbred studs in Scone, Southbrook and Lexington, Kentucky for 2 years, before returning to her roots of cattle reproduction.

After a year working in the yards and lab for cattle MOET work, Morgan chose to further her qualifications and knowledge in the laboratory by undertaking a Masters of Clinical Embryology part time through Monash, while still working in the IVF lab for the last 4 years. Morgan’s experience in equine and bovine reproduction gives her a diverse background and broad perspective both inside and outside of the lab, helping clients achieve outstanding reproductive success.

"What excites me most about working at Evogene is the constant drive to develop and achieve better. Utilizing the latest scientific advances and going the extra mile to get clients results when faced with expected or unexpected challenges is very rewarding. Our team truly cares about our results, and we feel every success or failure as deeply as our clients do!"

🐄 𝑭𝒖𝒏 𝑭𝒂𝒄𝒕: When not in the lab, you might find Morgan, making hay alongside her husband and kids, riding her horses or chasing kids around to sports, swimming or campdrafting on the weekends.
Join us in welcoming Morgan —an essential part of the Evogene team, Powered by Precision!
