We welcome and train postgraduates to be the best researchers of tomorrow, and have expertise in fundamental developmental science, randomised controlled trials, observational and epidemiological studies, newborn care and outcomes.
We teach across all years of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. We have a substantial programme of training students in the area perinatal research including those from a scientific and clinical background.
