Placental Optical Monitoring

The group focuses on the development and optimisation of a non-invasive optical monitoring tool for a better understanding of fetoplacental function to improve perinatal outcomes, with particular interest in the prevention of stillbirth (PROPEKT study funded by Wellcome Leap) and identifying mechanisms related to preterm birth (PreNIRS study funded Tommy’s Charity and Wellcome / EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences (WEISS)).

This large multidisciplinary work is based two large regional centres – University College London Hospital (London, UK) and All India Institute for Medical Sciences (New Delhi, India).
