About Reza
Associate Professor Reza Nosrati is an NHMRC Fellow in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University, where he serves as Director of the Applied Microfluidics and Bioengineering (AMB) Lab. He earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Toronto in 2016, MSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Tehran in 2010, and BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Amirkabir University of Technology in 2007. Prior to his appointment at Monash University, Nosrati held an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Queen’s University from 2016 to 2018. His research specializes in small-scale fluid mechanics, encompassing microfluidics and nanofluidics, with applications in fertility, cell biology, translational medicine, and environmental science. As a pioneer in microfluidics for male fertility and assisted reproduction, his work develops innovative technologies for sperm selection, motility analysis, infertility diagnostics, organ-on-a-chip models, cancer detection, and microbe-based bioremediation. These efforts combine microfluidics, optics, advanced microscopy, electrokinetics, and cell biology to mimic and manipulate biological systems at the single-cell level.
Nosrati has garnered significant recognition, including the ARC DECRA Fellowship in 2023, Dean’s Award for Research Impact in 2023, Dean’s Award for Excellence in Research by an Early Career Researcher in 2020, Newcastle Emerging Research Leader Award in 2021, ROYAN International Research Award in 2018, and Douglas R. Colton Medal in 2016 for contributions to embryology and andrology. Notable publications include “How to select ICSI-viable sperm from the most challenging samples” (Nature Reviews Urology, 2022), “Lab on a Chip devices for fertility: from proof-of-concept to clinical impact” (Lab on a Chip, 2022), “Sperm syringe: 3D sorting platform for assisted reproduction” (Advanced Materials Technologies, 2022), “Curvature in the reproductive tract alters sperm–surface interactions” (Nature Communications, 2021), “Microfluidics for sperm analysis and selection” (Nature Reviews Urology, 2017), and “Rapid selection of sperm with high DNA integrity” (Lab on a Chip, 2014). His research has been highlighted in Nature Reviews Urology and featured worldwide in outlets such as LA Times, Herald Sun, Daily Mail, and The Scientist. Ongoing projects include ARC Discovery for unlocking sperm transcription via mechanical stimulation (2026-2029) and NHMRC Ideas for fallopian tube on-a-chip (2023-2027).
