Fab Horta Nunez

Dr. Fab Horta Nunez is a Senior Lecturer at the University of New South Wales' School of Clinical Medicine, specializing in reproductive medicine. His career began as a research andrologist, evolving through roles as a clinical embryologist and R&D Scientific Supervisor. He holds qualifications in Medical Science, Medicine, and a Master of Clinical Embryology from Monash University, complemented by a PhD and fellowship in molecular andrology.

His research integrates biomarker discovery, artificial intelligence, and reproductive genetics to advance assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Primary interests include non-invasive embryo assessment, infertility mechanisms, and microfluidic innovations for gamete selection. Recent publications focus on metabolic imaging, AI-driven embryo analysis, and fertility preservation techniques, demonstrating a strong translational focus.

Major grants include a $2.96M AUD MRFF award for pharmacogenomics in IVF and multiple innovation grants (e.g., $50k for metabolic imaging). Awards recognize his research excellence, including the FMNHS ECR Award ($35k AUD) and international presentation prizes. He consults as a Scientific Advisor in reproductive genetics and leads cross-institutional teams developing clinical AI tools and microfluidic devices.
