research into practice

Translating our research into practice

To ensure its relevance in a hospital setting, the focus of research undertaken within the Pregnancy Research Centre is on important and common disorders of human pregnancy, including the molecular mechanisms underlying them, their clinical management, and public initiatives to prevent them. Examples of our research findings contributing to clinical practice can be found in the following publications of Pregnancy Research Centre staff.....
