Welcome to the PREGENIA Webpage

PREGENIA is a unique organization designed to conduct research and educational activities to understand genetic predisposition in preterm birth- a leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality.

PREGENIAs aim
Our aim is to promote research to better understand the genetic basis of preterm birth, and therby to develop potential genetic tools to predict women who are at risk for having preterm labor.

PREGENIAs goals
Our goals are:

• Study genetic basis and its contribution to preterm birth
• Share knowledge to better understand preterm birth syndrome
• Collaborative research by sharing samples and other resources to promote genetic research to understand its contribution to preterm birth
• Conduct conferences to educate researchers of the field to promote research to curtail preterm birth rate
