“What excites me most is the opportunity this presents for truly personalised medicine in pregnancy – something that has been sorely lacking in our field." – Dr Lynne Sykes, lead researcher and consultant obstetrician @ImperialNHS

Preterm birth is a leading cause of childhood death, hitting deprived communities hardest. ⚠️

A new £100K grant from Bukhman Philanthropies will help tackle these inequalities at The @tommys Centre, led by @ImperialMDR's Prof Catherine Williamson.

Was your baby born before 37 weeks?

If you’ve had a preterm birth, your experience could help us better understand the role of genetics in babies being born too soon.
