Research Fellow and Associate Professor has received multi-disciplinary grant under the Wellcome LEAP In-Utero programme

Associate Professor at Nuffield Department of Women's and Reproductive Health, and Wolfson Research Fellow Prof. Antoniya Georgieva, has received an international and multi-disciplinary grant under the Wellcome LEAP In-Utero programme.

Her team’s translational project for which she has received the grant, is focused on developing novel, wearable and affordable pregnancy monitoring and sensors, which has never been possible before.

On the project Prof. Georgieva says “These monitors hold the promise to elicit novel understanding of the very complex and poorly understood fetal physiology, and ultimately allow us to prevent fetal injury in-utero. Our ambition is to scale the use of the novel sensors within the next three years, collecting rich data from around the globe and building AI- and data-driven diagnostic methods based on it.”
