NIH Director's Seminar: Insights into fetal growth and metabolic health from maternal-placental-fetal genomics
to
Wilson Hall, NIH Building 1; and NIH videocast
The next lecture in the 2024-2025 NIH Director's Seminar Series will be presented by IRP senior investigator Fasil Tekola-Ayele, Ph.D.
The early life period is critical for long-term health. Fetal growth abnormalities and cardiometabolic diseases are interconnected and cause a high burden of morbidity. The placenta, an organ with important functions during pregnancy, holds clues about genetic and prenatal environmental risk factors, which can guide interventions to promote health across the lifespan. In this talk, Dr. Tekola-Ayele will present his human genomic-epidemiology studies on fetal growth and the placental epigenetic response to maternal metabolic factors, rendering mechanistic insights on health outcomes in childhood and later life.
