Full Abstract
Microfluidic technologies and artificial intelligence are transforming the landscape of reproductive medicine. In this webinar, A/Prof. Nosrati will present his team’s work on biomimetic microfluidic platforms and machine learning to study sperm interaction with the female reproductive environment, enabling more effective sperm selection strategies in fertility treatment.
In the second part of the session, A/Prof. Nosrati will share his personal experience transitioning from PhD studies to leading an independent research group. He will provide practical guidance on overcoming academic challenges and building a successful research career.
The webinar will provide both scientific insights and career development perspectives relevant to researchers, clinicians, and students.
About A/Prof. Reza Nosrati
Dr. Reza Nosrati is an NHMRC Fellow, Associate Professor, and Director of the Applied Microfluidics & Bioengineering (AMB) Lab at Monash University. He completed his PhD at the University of Toronto in 2016 and subsequently held an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship at Queen’s University (2016–2018) before joining Monash.
Reza’s research focuses on small-scale fluid mechanics with applications in cell biology and reproductive medicine. He is internationally recognised as a pioneer in microfluidic technologies for fertility and assisted reproduction, with foundational contributions to our understanding of sperm migration in vivo and the development of clinically relevant biomedical tools to address infertility. He has authored over 60 peer-reviewed publications and holds 11 patents, with his work featured in seven journal covers and leading journals such as Nature Communications, Nature Reviews Urology, Advanced Science, Science Advances, and Small. His research has attracted broad public and clinical attention, featured in more than 200 media outlets worldwide. His work has been recognized with numerous prestigious awards, including the 2023 Dean’s Award for Research Excellence, the 2021 Newcastle Emerging Research Leader Award, and the 2016 Colton Medal, honouring his outstanding international contributions to the field.
