Dr Sarah Lensen is a Research Fellow in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at the University of Melbourne. She has a background and interest in women's health, particularly infertility and IVF.

Dr Lensen is particularly interested in improving evidence-based healthcare of women. She has been involved in a number of large clinical trials evaluating infertility treatment options, including intrauterine insemination and endometrial scratching for IVF. Dr Lensen is an editor for the Cochrane Gynaecology and Fertility Group, and has published many systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Dr Lensen also has a keen interest in clinical trial and research methodology. She was involved in an international process to establish a core outcome set for infertility trials, and a process to develop key priorities for research.

Her current research aims to understand why unproven treatments options are used in reproductive medicine, and to develop evidence-based resources to assist decision making.
