Full description Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal death and disease in Australia; extremely preterm infants (EPIs) are at the highest risk. The underdeveloped lung makes current ventilation therapies of limited use to EPIs. My program will develop artificial placenta technology for EPIs, obviating the need for pulmonary ventilation. I will simultaneously leverage this unique placental-knockout system to optimize fetal assessments and generate new knowledge for healthy fetal growth and development.
