Jan Frayne obtained her first degree from Nottingham University and PhD from Bristol University before commencing research in developmental biology, specifically sperm function. She moved to the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Bristol on a post-doctoral position within this area to develop skills in molecular biology, obtaining a lectureship here in 2000.
