Funded Activity Summary
Going with the flow: directing nutrient rich blood to the brain. This project aims to visualise and measure flow of blood from the umbilical cord to the fetal brain and to understand how delivery of oxygen and glucose to the brain is prioritised by constriction or relaxation of a specialised shunt, the ductus venosus. The project will directly and non-invasively measure this fundamental phenomenon with novel MRI protocols. Expected outcomes of this project include advances in measuring fetal blood flow and the exchange of expertise between leading researchers in Australia and Canada. In the long-term, this will enhance Australia’s research capacity in fetal physiology and may lead to new tools for monitoring or supporting fetal development.Funded Activity Details
