Aidan Kashyap's PhD mid-candidature review, "Novel fetal therapies for babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia", 9 May

All staff and students are invited to Aidan Kashyap's PhD mid-candidature review.

1.30pm, 9 May, TRF Level 5 breakout space (The Ritchie Centre Tea Room, new building)

Synopsis:  Babies affected by congenital diaphragmatic hernia face a difficult start to life because their lungs are too small and the pulmonary blood vessels have not developed properly. To allow these babies (and their parents) to breathe a little easier, we are investigating fetal surgical procedures that stimulate lung growth, fetal medical therapies that improve pulmonary vascular development, and changes to neonatal management that allow more blood to flow through the lungs at birth.

Supervisors: Prof Stuart Hooper, A/Prof Ryan Hodges, Dr Kelly Crossley, Dr Philip Dekoninck
Panel Chair: Prof Rosemary Horne
Independent assessors: Prof Euan Wallace, A/Prof Tim Moss
