Off to a good start
Two new AHFMR research teams are leading the way in studies of maternal nutrition and preterm birth.
Whether you're competing in a race or beginning a life, getting off to a good start counts. For babies, a good start means setting out on the right track for healthy development, both physical and mental. And beginnings aren't only about the babies themselves and their immediate environment in the womb. The physical and mental health of mothers also plays a crucial role.
These concepts are being explored by two of the teams that were successful in AHFMR's first-ever Interdisciplinary Team Grants competition. Although their perspectives are different, the teams share a common goal: getting babies off to a good start.
