She founded and led the Endometriosis Group at the Robinson Research Institute (RRI) at University of Adelaide (UOA) in 2006. She has published on the pathophysiology of endometriosis (genomics, mouse models, microRNAs), new diagnostics (plasma microRNAs, IMAGENDO www.https://imagendo.org.au/) , digital health informatic platforms (EndoZone www.https://www.endozone.com.au/) and conducts Phase 1- 4 pharmaceutical trials (Alyra trial, Spirit Study). She is an international ambassador for the World Endometriosis Society (www.endometriosis.ca/about/ambassador/louise-hull) and on the organising commitee for World Congress of Endometriosis, Sydney 2025. She participated in the Australian National Action Plan for Endometriosis (NAPE) Round Table at the Minister of health's invitation. She has several national NAPE (LongStepp, Endo-MP, NESCT) and international collaborations (Auckland New Zealand, Oxford, UK) and has received several federal Level 1 grants.
Prof Louise Hull conducts research in the biology of embryo implantation and miscarriage and has participated in biotechnology and pharmacology clinical trials in IVF. She is the clinical leader of the Fertility and Conception Theme at RRI. She is the Written Exam Chair for CREI and education committee member for RANZCOG and President of ANZSREI ( Australian and New Zealand Society of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility specialists).
