About us

We bring together an interdisciplinary group of applied health researchers and social scientists committed to generate highest quality evidence for health and care. Working in a range of national and international settings, our research impacts on maternal and infant health. We are particularly dedicated to developing, implementing and evaluating innovative perinatal care models.
