Project description
Assessing effects of drugs and pollutants on foetal health
The preterm birth rate is increasing: in Europe, about 75 % of all neonatal deaths and 60 % of all infant deaths occur in infants born preterm. Based on the vision that every pregnant woman must live in a better and safer environment, the EU-funded LIFESAVER project will create a new digitally cloned in vitro system for emulation of prenatal conditions for drugs and pollutants transport at the uterine/placental interface. The system relies on the hybridisation of innovative technologies, integrating in silico/in vitro systems to enable screening for chemicals and pharmaceuticals that could affect the health of pregnant women, and at the same time reducing animal, pre-clinical and clinical testing needs.
