Queen Mary Joins Top Universities in Preterm Birth Study Centre

Queen Mary University of London

An estimated 53,000 babies born are born prematurely in the UK every year. The new centre will conduct ground-breaking research to reduce the this number, help make sure everyone has access to the care they need, and improve the future health of families, mothers and babies.

By bringing together leading experts in premature birth research, the centre will be able to rapidly advance the understanding of the causes of premature birth, and deliver new, innovative treatments to prevent it.

Tommy's is a national charity supporting people who experience preterm birth and baby loss. The new centre joins their other research centres focused on miscarriage, pregnancy complications and improving maternity care.
