I am a developmental biologist who identifies and characterises genes required for normal embryonic development in mouse. I translate this information into the genetic diagnosis and developmental understanding of congenital malformations in humans.
I am a developmental lung physiologist who specialises in understanding the factors regulating normal and abnormal lung development as well as the physiological transformation of the lung into an efficient gas-exchange organ at birth.
I am a perinatal epidemiologist and public health physician working in pregnancy and child birth research to improve the health and well-being of mothers and babies. My research encompasses the use of population health data to evaluate perinatal health a
I am a developmental lung physiologist who specialises in understanding the factors regulating normal and abnormal lung development as well as the physiological transformation of the lung into an efficient gas-exchange organ at birth.
I am a molecular biologist-uterine biologist-placentalogist. My research focuses on the regulation of the dramatic uterine tissue remodelling during the establishment of pregnancy and placental development, and on the ultimate impact of uterine factors on
I am a psychologist whose research program aims to improve the long-term well-being for children born very small or immature. My research focuses on 1) determining the nature and severity of cognitive and behavioural problems faced by children born very small-immature, 2) investigating how these problems are associated with brain injury and alterations to brain development, and 3) assessing the effectiveness of clinical interventions which aim to reduce complications and enhance development.
My research is primarily aimed at understanding the physiology and pathophysiology of lung development; in particular, how lung development is affected by the fetal and neonatal environment such that adult lung function and respiratory health are impaired. In addition to the lung my research examines the effects of the prenatal environment on development of the brain and cardiovascular system.
