Research lines
Our six research areas have as their main objective identifying methods of diagnosis and treatments for diseases of prenatal origin that have an impact on childhood and on adult life.
Fetal Programming
We characterize the cardiovascular changes that occur in adverse prenatal circumstances to develop therapies that improve prognosis in adult life stages
Fetal Brain Development
We evaluate the prenatal brain development in order to identify babies with greater risk of suffering neurological alterations.
Prematurity
Improving the diagnosis of patients at real risk of preterm birth allows the optimization of perinatal treatments and results
Inflammation in Preterm Birth
We want to predict intraamniotic infection or inflammation in women at risk of preterm birth using rapid and non-invasive diagnostic tools
Fetal Therapy and Surgery
We want to develop new intrauterine therapies and treatments that overcome the limitations in fetal surgeries that have existed until now
Environment and Pregnancy Complications
We assess how certain environmental factors have an effect throughout pregnancy to predict complications such as growth restriction.
Placental Disease
We improve the diagnosis and management of growth-restricted pregnancies to avoid possible neurodevelopmental alterations.
