Summary
The placenta is an important organ that allows the exchange of gases and nutrients between a mother and baby. When the placenta does not form or function correctly, it can lead to serious pregnancy complications and health risks for both mother and baby. Yet, despite its importance, studying the placenta during pregnancy remains difficult due to ethical and safety reasons. Studies in animal models provide limited information as the placenta can vary significantly between species. This CAREER project will use computer simulations and machine learning to understand how blood flow controls placent
