Andres Salumets

Andres Salumets is a Professor of Reproductive Medicine at the Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, Karolinska Institutet. His research focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying reproductive health, including endometrial biology, assisted reproduction technologies, and environmental influences on fertility. He leads studies on uterine fluid extracellular vesicles, genomic analysis of reproductive disorders, and the impact of endocrine disruptors on reproductive tissues. Salumets collaborates with multidisciplinary teams to translate findings into clinical applications, such as improving non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) and developing probiotics for male reproductive health.

His work integrates cutting-edge technologies like AI-driven histology analysis, single-cell RNA sequencing, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Key research areas include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, and recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Recent studies explore phthalate effects on endometrial cells and novel therapies for breast cancer using natural extracts. Salumets' research bridges basic science with clinical practice, aiming to enhance assisted reproduction outcomes and address global infertility challenges.
