Dr Charlotte Oyston works in the field of perinatal medicine and the focus of her PhD at the Liggins Institute is on fetal growth during pregnancy. Babies born small are at an increased risk of serious health complications - including death - but there are currently no treatments to improve a baby’s growth during pregnancy.
