Biography
Professor Graham Jenkin leads Hudson Institute’s Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine Group. His research focuses on fetal and neonatal wellbeing, in particular at-risk pregnancies, including Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR), infection in pregnancy, fetal and perinatal hypoxia, and premature birth.
Research Interest
His research has generated a new approach to the clinical monitoring of fetal health during late gestation and treatment in compromised pregnancies. Application of Professor Jenkin’s research to development of therapies for management of chronic adult and neonate lung disease and neuroregeneration continues to inform clinical treatment of the respiratory and neurological consequences of birth asphyxia and premature birth leading to cerebral palsy.
