Infant (Irish Centre for Fetal and Neonatal Translational Research) centre in Cork

The appropriately named Infant (Irish Centre for Fetal and Neonatal Translational Research) centre in Cork is finding new treatments for common conditions in pregnant women and newborn babies. The centre has a unique blend of biomedical research and clinical application that helps it tackle problems that arise during and just after pregnancy, when mother and child are at their most vulnerable. The driving forces behind the centre are co-directors Prof Geraldine Boylan, professor of neonatal physiology, paediatrics and child health, and Prof Louise Kenny, professor in the department of obstetrics and gynaecology, both at University College Cork.
