Public lecture: Saving babies and improving their life-long health
Date: 21 August 2018
The first 1,000 days, starting before conception, are not only amongst the most perilous in life’s journey, but also are critical for setting the foundations for health through to adulthood. Researchers from the faculty and from the Liggins Institute have contributed enormously to our understanding of fetal and newborn health and of how to decrease some of the risks to the baby during these early vital days.
