Our research

Leaders in reproductive and perinatal health research
Our research programme lies at the nexus of what is current and what is possible for women, families and children’s health, seeking to answer some of the most challenging questions in the field.

We address important and unanswered questions covering a broad range from preconception, including assisted reproductive technology, to reproductive health and pregnancy. We encourage patient participation in clinical trials and research opportunities to improve long-term health outcomes for women, families and babies. 

Our work extends from discovery science to translational research programmes. We aim to develop novel approaches to improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes for large and increasingly diverse reproductive populations.

Research themes

Cross-cutting domains

Our research themes are intersected by four cross-cutting domains including Population Health, Discovery Science, Research Translation and Global Health.

Population health aims to use population-based data science to inform and improve fertility and pregnancy outcomes, evaluate interventions and drive quality improvements in the provision of care.

Discovery Science aims to understand the mechanisms leading to failure in conception and adverse pregnancy and birth outcomes in specific high-risk populations.

Research Translation aims to develop timely, cost-effective and acceptable innovations and improvements to inform clinical practice, guide service delivery and improve health care policy for care of women and babies across the health system including primary care.

Global Health aims to contribute to the improvements in perinatal health regionally and globally.
