Funded Activity Summary

The prevalence of maternal obesity is alarmingly high in Australia and the western world. However, there is little understanding of how obesity of the mother affects the development of the kidney of the fetus and, in turn, how this affects the risk of these offspring developing cardiovascular and renal disease in adulthood. I hope to address the gaps in this knowledge in my studies. This information is critical in order to develop appropriate health care to those born to obese mothers.
