Prof Sarah Robertson

University of Adelaide

Sarah Robertson is a biomedical research scientist and Professor of Reproductive Immunology and NHMRC Investigator Fellow at the Robinson Research Institute, University of Adelaide. She was Director of the Robinson Research Institute at The University of Adelaide from 2013-2021. Her research focusses on the immunobiological determinants of healthy conception and embryo implantation, in order to yield new approaches to treatment and prevention of infertility and pregnancy disorders. Her work shows that the immune response at conception channels environmental and genetic signals from both female and male parents to contribute to fertility and reproductive success, and to shape offspring phenotype. She is an elected Fellow of The Australian Academy of Science, a Fellow of the Australian Academy for Health and Medical Sciences, a Fellow of the Society for the Reproductive Biology (Australia) and a Distinguished Fellow of the SSR.
