Implementing neuroprotective strategies for fetal growth restriction [ 2018 - 2022 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Suzanne Miller (Principal investigator)

Brief description Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a serious and common complication of pregnancy that is a principal cause of injury to the developing fetal brain. In turn, damage to the developing brain during pregnancy may cause cerebral palsy and other cognitive and behavioural deficits. This proposal builds on my work to date characterising the mechanisms that contribute to neuropathology in FGR infants, by implementing targeted strategies to protect or repair the FGR brain.
