Begin Before Birth Conference

9/9/2013

0 Comments

 
This year the Begin Before Birth Conference was held on the 21st June at the Wolfson Education Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London.  This one-day conference is unique as it focuses on the importance of pregnancy and early life development and its association with later health outcomes, as well as possible interventions through which sub-optimal early development can be avoided to reduce the risk of poor health outcomes later in life.  This year the programme covered a variety of subjects, ranging from biological mechanisms of sub-optimal development through to public health policy, via a number of talks.

Of particular interest were the talks given on different aspects of the fetal programming hypothesis by Professor Vivette Glover, Professor Clive Osmond and Professor Mark Hanson.  These talks highlighted the excellent progress in recent years within the field of fetal programming, which has directly furthered our understanding of how exposure to an abnormal environment during pregnancy can lead to an altered outcome later on in life. 

The conference will run again next year at the Wolfson Education Centre, Hammersmith Hospital, London in June 2014.
