Janice P. Evans studies the biology of eggs (oocytes) and fertilization in mammals, focusing on how eggs mature, prevent multiple sperm from entering, and undergo the mechanical and molecular changes needed for successful reproduction. Her work combines cell biology techniques—such as measuring the physical stiffness of egg surfaces and manipulating specific proteins—to understand processes like meiosis (the specialized cell division that produces eggs) and egg aging. This research is relevant to basic reproductive biology and could inform future work on fertility and assisted reproduction.

Publication output has been modest and somewhat irregular over the last decade, with occasional small peaks (e.g., 2018 and 2023) rather than steady year-over-year growth.
