Huge congratulations to our Monash IVF scientist Jenny Lorimer, who is also a PhD student at Monash University, on her latest publication in Nature Reviews Bioengineering, a high-impact review on AI and automation in assisted reproduction. This paper tackles one of the biggest challenges in fertility care today. Despite decades of progress, many assisted reproductive technologies (ART) still rely heavily on manual, subjective processes, making outcomes difficult to predict. Jenny and her co-authors Deirdre Z., Robert Mclachlan, Reza Nosrati and Moira O'Bryan highlight how artificial intelligence and automation are poised to transform IVF labs, from sperm and oocyte selection to embryo assessment, enabling more data-driven, precise, and standardised care. Key insights include: AI can move the field beyond subjective grading toward quantitative, single-cell level decision-making Automation has the potential to reduce human variability and improve consistency across labs when used as a support tool to aid scientists and clinicians The future vision is a closed-loop, AI-integrated IVF lab delivering adaptive, personalised reproductive care With infertility affecting around 1 in 6 people globally, this work lays out a compelling roadmap for how engineering and biology can reshape reproductive medicine at scale.   We are incredibly proud to see Jenny leading work at the intersection of AI, bioengineering, and clinical translation, and publishing in one of the top journals in the field.
