Title of project:
Placental pathology: linking the health of two generations
Proposal summary:
Problems with the placenta can cause preeclampsia, preterm delivery and small babies.
These problems with how the placenta develops to support a pregnancy may be linked with heart disease in both mothers and their children.
We plan to characterise existing placentas in order to gain a better understanding of what a healthy and a non-healthy placenta looks like and how these characteristics relate to pregnancy outcomes but also to long tern health of mothers and offspring.
