Fetal growth restriction is a term for a baby who is smaller than normal in the womb. These babies weigh around 90% less than others of the same age. They are at an increased risk of still birth, and if they do survive, they are at an increased risk of brain damage, and other serious long term health problems.

This project will investigate how gene therapy can increase the amount of blood reaching the placenta, and subsequently help these small babies grow in the womb.
