Kriss Fearon is the research fellow on the PRECAS project and based in the Centre for Reproduction Research at DMU. Her research interests are in reproductive decision making, particularly in the context of chronic health conditions that affect fertility, such as Turner Syndrome.

Prior to joining the project, Kriss held a Mildred Blaxter Fellowship from the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness. This enabled her to disseminate research findings from her PhD, on how women with TS and mothers of girls with TS made reproductive decisions, and how choices are affected by new reproductive options.

Kriss has a longstanding interest and experience in assisted conception, initially with egg and sperm donors, and subsequently on the impact of social research into reproductive technology on policy. She was a trustee of the National Gamete Donation Trust (now the Seed Trust) for eight years, bringing her into regular contact with patients, donors, counsellors, clinicians, donor recruitment agency staff, and HFEA and DoH members. She is also interested in inclusive research methodology, and in bringing principles of accessibility into research design, data collection and disseminationl
