Delivering world-leading research into human reproduction, early life health and the origins of disease

The Robinson Research Institute is internationally recognised for excellence in research in the fields of fertility, pregnancy and child health.

Our research portfolio is based on Accelerator Programmes for major clinical translation initiatives, underpinned by excellent foundation science that informs the biology and external influences impacting on the newborn and mother’s journey from conception, through pregnancy to the early days, months and years after birth.

Our Foundation Science Streams are:

  • Reproductive Immunology
  • Preconception, conception and developmental biology
  • Physiology of pregnancy
  • Determinants of early life health
  • Clinical trials and translation.
