Gestation
Network - Joint Projects
Home
This is a virtual home and contact point for collaborative projects aimed at understanding relationships between fetal growth & maturation and perinatal outcome. We are collaborating on studies relating to gestation dating, the length of pregnancy, fetal growth screening, detection of growth restriction and the causes of stillbirth.
