Funded Activity Summary

Stillbirth is a global public health problem affecting 3 million babies annually. In Australia, almost 3,000 stillbirths occur each year, many of which are preventable if the pregnancy is recognised as being at risk. This fellowship will develop novel non-invasive techniques to identify these at risk pregnancies using biomarkers in the mother's blood and cutting edge imaging. The efficacy of these novel techniques to prevent stillbirths and improve pregnancy outcomes will then be assessed.
