Brief description The single most important complication contributing to poor pregnancy and neonatal outcome is premature birth. If we are to provide the best possible start to life, improve perinatal health and reduce the risk of developing adult disease . A better understanding of labour is requisite to improving health care delivery during pregnancy and outcomes for both mother and baby. This reserach project will investigate the how labour-associated events are reguluated by nuclear proteins.
