Congenital Infection Research Group

The Congenital Infection Research Group is a team of scientists and healthcare professionals dedicated to studying infections that can be passed from mother to baby before birth or during delivery. Their work focuses on understanding how these infections—like Zika, or cytomegalovirus—affect fetal development, diagnosing them early, and developing prevention or treatment strategies. By researching congenital infections, the group aims to reduce health problems and improve outcomes for infants affected by these conditions. Their efforts contribute to better understanding, early detection, and safer pregnancies for mothers and babies alike.
