A PERINATAL RESEARCH centre is to be launched in Cork today. The Irish Centre for Fetal and Neonatal Translational Research (INFANT) will aim to improve the care of both pregnant mothers and their babies.
Receiving funding as part of a government investment of €300 million in seven scientific research centres, INFANT will be based at Cork University Maternity Hospital.
The centre will receive €7.6 million in public funding and a further €6 million from other partners.
More than 60 researchers, doctors and scientists will work with INFANT.
The centre will focus on “fast-tracking discoveries relating to most complications of pregnancy and newborn babies and service a huge societal and economic need globally,” according to UCC.
Research
UCC states that the progress of perinatal research has been “painfully slow and consequently there are no effective screening tests for the most common complications of pregnancy and newborn babies. As a result, prompt detection of problems and the development of appropriate treatments are impacted”.
INFANT will focus on developing screening and diagnostic tests for monitoring pregnancy and newborns.
Doctors and scientists will also investigate the cause of pre-term births in an effort to develop treatment and intervention.

This is great to see and I im glad they were rescued. Touch and go for a bit they could have been stranded in outer space
Amazing job Elon and President Trump heroes you are.
Well done to Elon Musk a true hero of our generation. Looney leftists out damaging cars in Belfast while Elon is saving lives. We will be on the right side of history. More and more people can see this every day. MAGA.
@Adam H2022: let’s hope President of Peace Trump really goes in hard on that mad dictator putin today. It’ll be so beautiful & joyous to consign that pointless proxy war to the history books & give those brave young Ukrainians the opportunity of reaching adulthood & old age
@Adam H2022: No doubt he was well paid for his rocket and it was not done for humanitarian reasons. In the meantime he is condoning the unnecessary bombings in Gaza. His attitude is probably what do a few lives matter for a cheap bit of real estate.
@Chutes Idiot: President of Peace sanctioned the killing of 330 Palestinians today.
@FoxyBoiiYT: Biden administration is responsible for all of the deaths. Trump has been landed with two wars and the left think it’s Trumps fault lol. Just when I think you lefties can’t get any more stup1d you come out with comments like that lol
@Adam H2022: So Biden is still in charge? You are so utterly braindead as to defy believe. Go simp for your billionaire masters elsewhere
@FoxyBoiiYT: Biden was never in charge as he was actually brain dead. You didn’t notice either as you clearly are as well lol. Shut your leftie hole thinking your tough name calling on an app.
@Adam H2022:
We need about 8 billion ape masks for the joke of the millennium
@Ian Graydon: Only need one.. and I’m sure the orange orangetan will be front and centre upon there return.
@Brian: Orangutan*
@Brian: it’s funny, but did you have this same energy when Biden refused to let Musk bring them back before the election?
@Brian: he & Elon Musk are the only reason they’re even coming home. The astronauts themselves even said as much. The previous administration didn’t want Musk getting credit as he declared his support for Trump instead of Harris so a game was being played with the health & welfare of these astronauts.
@James.s.: cool story bro, but it didn’t happen like that
@Brian: their
@Dermot Blaine: actually….

@Matt D: The poor astronauts. Can you imagine being used as a political football as your life literally hangs in the balance. Democrats and the left are the low of the low. Watch them try to find something wrong with Musk having a massive win again – The left remind of the DUP everyone is just laughing at them at this stage.
@Karen Marten: that nonsense makes you the wnkr
@James.s.: rubbish
@Dermot Blaine: according to Musk and the astronauts it did. And seeing as he is the one responsible for bringing them back, I would believe him.
I’m sure they will be just happy to be home with their families and sleeping in their own beds for a few weeks sureit will be weird for them .
@Karen Marten:
Sure it.
62 and 59? Hmmm. They must be fit. I presume they will be in wheelchairs for weeks what with the muscle atrophy of a zero G environment and the freeze dried dinners and recycled urine….
@N.F. Court: But enough about the Oval Office.
@Sherry Adams – Norn Iron Drag Artiste: it’s ok Joe is gone, getting the care he needs
have your say
