Longitudinal impact of perinatal factors on maternal and offspring health (KuBiCoRe)

The purpose of this project is to enhance our understanding of the biological mechanisms of perinatal depression and its adverse consequences.

The mechanisms underlying perinatal mental health disorders are complex and multifactorial. We seek to comprehensively investigate biological mechanisms underlying the development of perinatal depression, and to further identify mechanistic pathways responsible for how maternal lifestyle, physical health and perinatal mental health issues are transmitted into adverse future outcomes for the mothers and their children.
