Developing an algorithm for detecting placenta abnormalities
The placenta plays an important role during pregnancy by transporting nutrients to the fetus. Occasionally the placenta does not function properly, giving rise to a range of issues such as placenta accrete and intrauterine growth restrictions (IUGR). Read more
Investigating gene regulatory mechanisms controlling human trophoblast stem cell identity, differentiation and function
Research Group:
Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP)
The placenta, a complex organ composed of both maternal and foetal tissue, is essential for foetal growth and survival in the uterus. Read more
Precision Medicine DTP – Blood flow and solute transport in human placental microvasculature: an in silico approach to stratifying pregnancy pathologies
Background. The human placenta performs diverse functions later taken on by several different organs. In particular, it mediates the exchange of vital solutes, including respiratory gases and nutrients, between the mother and the developing fetus. Read more
Impact of pregnancy-specific glycoproteins on development and ageing
Ensuring lifelong health constitutes one of the major socioeconomic challenges of our age. Understanding the underlying mechanisms involves studying ageing processes, as well as events during fetal developmental that lead to long-term morbidities in adult life. Read more
In utero exposure to SARS-CoV-2 and adverse health outcomes amongst infants: enriching and utilizing a national, linked electronic health record resource
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 200 million infants have been born worldwide, of which a significant proportion will have been exposed to maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection in utero. Read more
Identifying the pathways that control extra-embryonic cells
Research Group:
Midlands Integrative Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP)
In many animals, interactions between cells that make the animal – “embryonic progenitors”, and supporting cells that are not a part of the animal – “extra-embryonic cells”, are essential for normal embryonic development. Read more
Towards a better understanding of Delayed Villous Maturation – A Placental Disorder associated with Stillbirth
Delayed villous maturation (DVM) describes a condition in the placenta that is usually seen after 36 weeks and rarely before 34 weeks of pregnancy. Read more
Metabolic programming: Role of micronutrient (B12) deficiency and associated epigenetic marks
The global epidemic of childhood obesity is a major public health issue. Although current adverse lifestyle (nutrition and physical inactivity) contributes to obesity, a growing body of evidence links early life nutritional adversity to the development of obesity and metabolic disorders in children.
