EPG 2024 will be held on 7-8th November hosted by Pharmacology and Toxicology, Charles University, Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic Placenta in Health and Disease. Save the Date! Details to follow. As at the Paris EPG in 2022 this will be a great opportunity for ECRs to present their work! #placenta

Our latest study reveals changes in the placental transcriptome linked to gastroschisis. These changes might indicate the placenta sensing fetal distress or genetic or environmental factors predisposing to gastroschisis.

The fabulous Dr Jane Cleal the #IFPA2024 Andre Gruslin Award winner Brought her own fetus & placenta with her! Vit D impacts placental gene expression DNA methylation & uptake is by endocytosis IFPA ANZPRA SRI SRB

Congratulations Jane Dr Jane Cleal as the #IFPA2024 Gruslin Awardee IFPA Excellent work on Vitamin D and the placenta

Congratulations to Dr Jane Cleal for her Gruslin Award Lecture at IFPA in Montreal. Fascinating work on how the placenta controls vitamin D transfer to the fetus.

Congratulations to Davis Laundon for an amazing talk at IFPA in Montréal showing his work imaging placentas large and small to investigate what is necessary for successful pregnancy. Southampton Medicine

Dr Rohan Lewis is working with the Rosalind Franklin Institute on two important projects using the UK’s newest supercomputer, Isambard-AI, to better understand the placenta. Read the full story here: rfi.ac.uk/latest/harness….
