In Memoriam
Professor Robert P.S. Jansen (1946–2014) It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Professor Robert Jansen. Even while he was not well, Robert continued to guide and advise on research directions, with his contributions to this book being among his final writings. The impact of his scholarly work continues to have a global reach and will be felt for many years. Robert played a pivotal role in reproductive medicine and the development and progress of assisted conception in Australia over the last three decades. The founder and leader of Sydney IVF (now Genea), he led advances in clinical IVF application as well as the culture and incubation of human embryos. His contributions include the introduction of transvaginal ultrasound techniques in IVF, the development of MINC incubators and culture media which now enjoy global usage, PGD undertaken at the blastocyst stage, and many other groundbreaking developments. In an effort to improve pregnancy outcomes nearly 20 years ago, Robert used his own clinic as a research base to demonstrate that single embryo v
