Research Centre for Reproductive Health

The Research Centre for Reproductive Health (RCRH) was established in 2004 and is a world leader in the investigation and improvement of reproduction and reproductive health research spanning from oogenesis to post conception.

Centre Directors

Associate Professor Darryl Russell & Professor Sarah Robertson

A/Prof Darryl Russell became co-director of the Research Centre for Reproductive Health in 2011. Darryl's research focuses broadly on intercellular communication, cell-matrix interactions and resulting morphogenesis in normal function and cancer of the reproductive organs.

Professor Sarah Robertson graduated from The University of Adelaide with a PhD in science and now heads the reproductive immunology research group in the Discipline of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. Her research seeks to unravel the immune and cytokine networks of early pregnancy and to understand the mechanisms underpinning maternal immune tolerance to pregnancy.

Evidense-Based Guidelines for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

The Robinson Institute has been involved in the PCOS Australian Alliance to develop the world’s first evidence-based guideline for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a hormonal condition that affects approx 12% of reproductive aged women in Australia, yet up to 70% of women with PCOS remain undiagnosed.
