OBJECTIVES

  • Identify risk and protective factors for the development of depressive symptoms in pregnancy and associated biological blood signatures
  • Identify the mechanisms that affect the foetal environmental biology,
    and shape offspring risk for developing negative mental outcomes later in life.
  • Determine the prenatal and postnatal factors that exacerbate, or buffer, the risk shaped in utero
  • Develop an innovative digital platform for an App-based early screening, diagnosis and personalised management of maternal depressive symptoms in pregnancy

ROLES

  • Establish and continuously maintain a comprehensive data management plan
  • Enable secure and compliant processing of the multi-centre datasets
