Research Summary

Dr Jadva is a Lecturer in Reproductive Science at the Institute for Women's Health, UCL. She holds an honorary position at the Centre for Family Research, University of Cambridge. Her research examines the psychological well-being of parents and children in families created by IVF, egg donation, sperm donation and surrogacy.

Other current projects include a longitudinal study of families created using surrogacy, egg donation and sperm donation and a follow-up of surrogates twenty years on.
