Project description
Ethiopia has a high burden of stillbirths and neonatal deaths. Characterization and understanding of biological factors during pregnancy or childbirth and their effect on pregnancy outcomes is therefore quite essential. We are planning to analyze the microbiome profile and its variation during pregnancy. This might improve interventions to avert the burden of adverse pregnancy outcomes and child mortality in Ethiopia.
