Research Interests
Current Project Titles:
  1. Importance of oxygen supply in intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) pregnancies: correlation between in vivo and in vitro studies.
  2. In vivo experimental study of placental amino acid transport and umbilical amino acid uptakes in pregnancies associated with intrauterine growth restriction and in pregnancies with gestational diabetes.
  3. Ultrasound evaluation of foetal fat and lean mass during pregnancy: comparison of traditional parameters of foetal growth with new parameters of fat and lean mass in normal cases and in pregnancies associated with gestational diabetes.
  4. Randomized study of treatment in gestational diabetes: traditional approach versus a new approach considering not only maternal glycaemic control but also the indirect evaluation of foetal insulinization by studying the pattern of foetal growth.
  5. Evaluation of the early maternal adaptation to pregnancy, particularly by studying changes in maternal cardiovascular function and changes in maternal metabolism of amino acids and fatty acids.
  6. Evaluation of genetic mutations of thrombophilic factors in pregnancies associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes such as IUGR, pre-eclampsia and intrauterine foetal death.
  7. Evaluation of genetic anomalies related to imprinted genes and to changes in IGF-I and IGF-II placental production in pregnancies associated with IUGR
