Prof Scott Nelson’s main research aim is to integrate research activity in inflammation and metabolism with human reproductive medicine, focusing on infertility, pregnancy and fetal programming. The major objectives are to elucidate the inflammatory and metabolic mechanisms involved in the maternal-fetal dialogue across gestation and the impact they have on pregnancy outcome and the offspring.
