Summary
In 2015 we continued to work on the prediction and prevention of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction; the relationship between congenital heart disease and abnormal angiogenesis in maternal blood from the first trimester of pregnancy; we also continued to work in our breast cancer during pregnancy program. We kept on working in preterm delivery both in singletons and twins, and we developed a network of hospitals in Europe to perform studies for the prediction and prevention of preterm labor. We improved our relationship with European partners in Fetal Medicine, with collaborations in the field of monochorionic complications and congenial diaphragmatic hernia. We developed our research project in prenatal mielomeningocele repair. We consolidated the use of new molecular techniques in both invasive and non-invasive prenatal diagnosis.
