Professor Sarah Robertson is a graduate of the University of Adelaide (BSc 1983; PhD 1993). She returned to Adelaide after periods at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada) and University of Gothenburg (Sweden). She was funded as an NHMRC Fellow for 18 years and was an NHMRC Principal Research Fellow until appointment to Director of the Robinson Research Institute in Oct 2013. She stepped down from RRI Director to take up an NHMRC Investigator Award as Professorial Research Fellow in April 2021.
Her research focus is mammalian reproduction and development, particularly immune regulation of fertility and pregnancy. She strives to advance understanding of the fundamental biology of conception, embryo implantation and early development, and to to develop biologically rational approaches for managing 'unexplained' infertility and common pregnancy disorders. She partnered with Origio A/S to develop EmbryoGen, a novel immune-based intervention for repeated IVF failure and recurrent miscarriage now sold in >50 countries worldwide, and is funded by Ferring Pharmaceuticals and other industry partners to investigate novel strategies to tackle miscarriage, preeclampsia and preterm delivery.
She is an elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science (2016) and the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences (2015), and a Fellow of the Society for Reproductive Biology (2011).
Her work is funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia, the Australian Research Council, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, and the Channel 7 Children's Research Foundation. Her research output includes more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific journal papers and reviews in high impact journals, >20 book chapters and 4 patent families. Her H-index is 73 with >16,500 citations (Google Scholar, April 2021).
She serves in professional roles for the NHMRC, Australian Academy of Science, Australian Academy for Health and Medical Science, Association of Australian Medical Research Institutes, Ramaciotti Foundations, International Society for Immunology of Reproduction, and US Society for the Study of Reproduction.
She collaborates extensively with colleagues in Australia and around the world and has supervised 30 PhD students (24 completed) plus 39 Honours students. For the period of 2008-2013 she was Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Reproductive Immunology and now serves on the Editorial Boards of Endocrinology, Immunology and Cell Biology, and Clinical and Translational Immunology, as well as the Board of Consulting Editors of the Journal of Clinical Investigation. She regularly contributes to peer review for the NHMRC, ARC, and many international funding agencies.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions to the field, Professor Robertson was awarded an L2 Investigator Grant from the NHMRC (2021-2025) for her project "Peri-conception determinants of reproductive and pregnancy health".

Research Interests
Research in the Reproductive Immunology group centres on three related themes:
• Immune control of female reproductive investment and function
• Pregnancy tolerance and its impact on embryo implantation, placental development, and pregnancy and offspring outcomes
• Male seminal fluid factors that influence female pregnancy tolerance
Research projects
1. Role of male seminal fluid factors in female immune priming
We are interested in the female response to insemination, and its significance in fertility and reproductive health. Seminal fluid has a profound effect on the female tract immune environment and is a key factor in establishing local immune adaptations that allow receptivity to pregnancy. This is mediated by male transplantation antigens and immune-regulatory factors that promote generation of regulatory T cells. Importantly the immune changes induced by seminal fluid are critical for fertility and pregnancy health, and can also impact sexually transmitted infection, and potentially conditions including infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and endometriosis. We focus on defining the molecular identity of sperm and seminal plasma signalling molecules, and characterising the immune response elicited in female tissues. The physiological consequences of the female tract response for fertility and embryo development, as well as infection and immune defence, are studied.

Research project start: Semester 1 and 2 or summer scholarship
Special requirements: Updated tetanus vaccination desirable for small animal research
2. The immune response to conception and pregnancy
Certain types of immune cells are essential for female immune tolerance of implantation and pregnancy, or can suppress implantation and pregnancy under soem circumstances. Uterine macrophages and dendritic cells are master regulators of tolerance, through generating regulatory T cells that suppress inflammation, prevent maternal immune rejection of the conceptus, and facilitate robust placental development. Our projects use mouse models to investigate the functions and behavior of regulatory T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells in unique mechanisms for generating tolerance at the outset of pregnancy. Additionally, these cells have tissue remodelling functions and communicate within cell networks to impact endometrial receptivity for decidualisation and embryo implantation. Specific immune-regulatory agents including cytokines, microRNAs and TLR ligands contribute to these events and their significance is being evaluated in genetic mouse models.

3. Seminal fluid and reproductive health in women
In women, seminal fluid induces cellular changes and an induction of inflammatory cytokines similar to the response in mice and other animals. The cytokine and chemokine regulation of the cervical and uterine response in women can be modelled in in vitro experiments. We are identifying the active signalling factors in human seminal fluid, and investigating how these impact fertility and pregnancy outcomes in the human IVF setting. We are also examining the relationship between the seminal fluid content of individual signalling components, fertility and health status, and age and lifestyle factors in men. This work has potential to deliver new immune-based diagnostics and treatment interventions for male infertility.

4. Cytokine regulation of embryo development
Cytokines originating from the maternal oviduct and uterine epithelium act to regulate the development of the embryo as it traverses the reproductive tract prior to implantation. Cytokines modulate gene expression, and cell survival and differentiation, to synchronise embryo growth and development with uterine receptivity. Some years ago we discovered an important role for GM-CSF in promoting blastocyst development, implantation and placental formation, to ultimately affect fetal growth and offspring health after birth. In humans, we showed GM-CSF suppresses cell stress and promotes development of healthy blastocysts. In partnership with Origio A/S, we conducted clinical trials in IVF patients to show GM-CSF improves implantation success especially after prior miscarriage. Our work resulted in the product Embryogen, now sold in 50 countries worldwide. Our current studies are exploring how specific maternal tract cytokines exert both positive and negative effects on preimplantation embryos, to program implantation competence, fetal development and health of offspring after birth.
