Discussion organised by Professor Graham J Burton FMedSci FRS, Professor Dino A Giussani, Professor Lorna Moore, Professor Andrew J MurrayAbout this Event
Hypobaric hypoxia experienced at high altitude places additional stress on the mother and her fetus during pregnancy. We will explore contrasting physiological adaptations in different ethnic populations to this experiment-of-nature that help maintain fetal oxygen delivery, sustaining growth and long-term health. Insights generated will inform interventions to mitigate fetal hypoxia caused by complications of pregnancy at sea level.
