Women, babies and their families are the centre of our service as we strive for excellence and innovation.
This program has a life-cycle character, hosting several Centers of Excellence. It starts with care and research through periconceptional, antenatal and perinatal phases up to Neonatal Intensive care and research, aiming for the best longterm outcome of child health. Women, babies and their families are the centre of our service as we strive for excellence and innovation.
The “reproductive and developmental origins of health and disease” hypothesis stresses the significance of the preconceptional, periconceptional, fetal and perinatal environment and events for the future health of the child. Our efforts are aimed at increasing knowledge, thereby aiming to develop new preventative and therapeutic interventions that ultimately will decrease or eliminate the burden of disease for the (prospective) parents and future children. Researchers in this program play key roles in national and international networks for their respective areas.
The Center for Reproductive Medicine is a nationally and internationally accredited expert center and global leader in their scientific field. The primary goal is to optimize the chance of a healthy conception.
More about pre- and periconceptionThe antenatal research program concentrates on improvement of health for mother and baby in (high) risk pregnancies with focus on antenatal imaging (ultrasound and MRI) and genetic testing.
More about antenatalThe Neonatal program focuses on better understanding systemic illnesses affecting brain development and brain injury in critically ill newborn, including congenital (cardiac) anomalies.
More about neonatology / perinatologyResearch groups play a pivotal role in advancing knowledge and innovation within their respective fields. By bringing together diverse experts, they foster collaborative efforts that drive scientific and technological breakthroughs.
