How genes and environment in early life impact on adult health
Mouse blood pressure measurements aid our understanding of how early-life environment and genetics are translated into later life health.

We've developed a minimally invasive method of blood sampling, which allows multiple samples to be taken from the same animal with as little stress as possible.
Developmental geneticist, Dr Kim Moorwood, explores how the genes behind fetal growth could impact our chances of serious health conditions in later life.
