Improving the fetal to neonatal transition in compromised newborns; towards better outcomes for babies born too soon or with under-developed lungs

全世界每年有1 300万名孕妇因出生缺陷婴儿而受到影响，这是新生儿死亡、残疾和慢性疾病的最大原因。我将确定机制，大大改善胎儿到新生儿的过渡，早产儿和婴儿与欠发达的肺部。这项研究迫切需要提供必要的证据，以针对产房的干预措施，以减少受损新生儿的短期和长期疾病负担。

The birth of a compromised infant affects 13 million pregnancies worldwide annually and is the greatest cause of neonatal death, disability and chronic disease. I will identify mechanisms to greatly improve the fetal to neonatal transition in premature babies and babies with under-developed lungs. This research is urgently required to provide the necessary evidence to target interventions in the delivery room to reduce the short- and long-term burden of disease in compromised newborns.
