Decidual-trophoblast interactions critical for optimal pregnancy outcomes [ 2012 - 2014 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Evdokia Dimitriadis (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Ellen Menkhorst

Brief description This proposal seeks to identify the critical maternal and embryonic placental factors that regulate the formation of a healthy placenta and thus a healthy pregnancy and baby. Currently there is no way of identifying whether the placenta is forming adequately. The proposed studies are a necessary first step in identifying therapeutic targets for diseases associated with a poorly formed placenta, such as preeclampsia.
