Purpose
The placenta is the least understood human organ and arguably one of the more important organs in the body, not only for the health of a woman and her fetus during pregnancy, but also for the lifelong health of both. To address this lack of knowledge, NICHD believes a concerted effort, the Human Placenta Project (HPP), would make substantial inroads.
The goals of this meeting are to:
- Bring together a group of multidisciplinary experts and broad thinkers, including computer scientists, engineers, placental biologists, clinicians, and patients to discuss how to achieve the HPP goals
- Highlight the progress to date of HPP-funded projects through presentations, posters, and demonstrations
- Provide thought-provoking presentations to inspire current and potential grantees to think about the HPP’s future directions, with an emphasis on translation of HPP research into the clinic and into low-resource settings.
