Pregnancy complication research projects
There are specific diseases that can cause complications during and after pregnancy. Discover our research projects on pregnancy complications here.
Pregnancy complication research
The role of metal trace elements from the diet in gestational diabetes
Tommy's researchers are studying how metal trace elements found in food are involved in gestational diabetes. This could lead to new ways to diagnose or treat.
Pregnancy complication research
Finding a new way to diagnose gestational diabetes
Our researchers are studying a group of molecules called progesterone sulfates that could potentially be used to spot gestational diabetes earlier in pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes
Testing a smartphone app to help mothers with diabetes stay active
Exercise can help to reduce the effects of diabetes during pregnancy. Our researchers are testing whether a smartphone app could help mothers to stay active.
Pregnancy complication research
Co_OPT: assessing the safety of medicines taken during pregnancy
Our researchers are involved in an international collaboration to find out about the safety and long-term health effects of medicines during pregnancy.
Pregnancy complication research
Qual-IFY: Understanding the opinions of doctors towards fetal monitoring technology
Scientists funded by Tommy’s are developing new technology to monitor baby’s health during labour, to help reduce the risks for as many babies as possible.
Pregnancy complication research
Developing a microdialysis sensor to monitor a baby’s health during labour
Tommy's research scientists are developing a new sensor, which could help ensure any problems during labour are spotted and acted upon as early as possible.
Pregnancy complication research
Developing a sensor to monitor a baby’s health during labour
Our researchers are developing a brand-new sensor that could provide a reliable and non-invasive way to continuously monitor the health of babies during labour.
Pregnancy complication research
Understanding why pregnant women are at risk of sepsis
Our researchers are working to understand why pregnant women are more vulnerable to sepsis, and find ways to stop mothers dying.
Gestational diabetes
Understanding how blood sugar levels change during gestational diabetes
Our team are studying how blood sugar changes through the day during early pregnancy to help us know how and when to intervene to treat gestational diabetes.
