Seeing the Small Baby

To achieve the full development potential of South Australia's children and adolescents.HDA is an independent non-partisan organisation that encourages the use of evidence-based policy along with universal, targeted and clinical interventions designed to maximise the developmental potential of infants, children, adolescents and families in South Australia.HDA is funded and supported by the Channel 7 Children's Research Foundation, University of Adelaide (Robinson Research Institute), University of South Australia, Flinders University, the Department for Education, the Women’s and Children’s Health Network, the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (Women and Kids), Department of Human Services, Department for Child Protection, and Novita.

Please join us for this joint HDA and Women’s &amp; Children’s Hospital Grand Round.

Queen Victoria Building, lecture theatre, level 1

Professor Janna Morrison will present this Grand Round on Seeing the small baby: Advanced imaging in detecting and treating fetal growth restriction.Over 25,000 babies are predisposed to having a bigger left side of the heart and cardiovascular disease even before they are born. This is because they did not receive enough nutrients and/or oxygen during pregnancy and were born too small with a heart that has a relatively bigger left side. This project aims to use a combination of advanced MRI techniques and a nutritional supplement to stop these babies from having heart disease by helping them grow better even before they are born!OUR SPEAKERProfessor Janna Morrison is an ARC Future Fellow, Director of Health and Biomedical Innovation and Head of the Early Origins of Adult Health Research Group, Clinical and Health Sciences at the University of South Australia. Janna is also a Fellow of the Cardiovascular Section of the American Physiological Society. She received her PhD from the University of British Columbia in 2001. Her current research focuses on how the fetal cardiovascular system responds to changes in nutrient supply during pregnancy. She was recently awarded a Canadian Institutes of Health Research grant with colleagues from Sick Kids Hospital in Canada to use MRI to study blood flow and oxygenation and their relationship with cardiac development in the growth restricted fetus. She is currently an ARC Future Fellow (2018-21) and holds a Discovery Project (2019-21). She is Reviewing Editor for the Journal of Physiology and Editor of Themed Issues for the Journal of the Developmental Origins of Adult Health.OUR CHAIRDr Jenny Fereday, Executive Director, Nursing and Midwifery, Women’s and Children’s Health NetworkThis event is free and open to the public and will be held under COVID-SAFE guidelines.
