Perinatal Intergenerational Research Institute
Target audience - pregnant women and their families. We would like to emphasize the connection between the mother and newborn.
PIRI has created a sample biorepository that will be used for future research studies to evaluate biological mechanisms of maternal morbidity, the relationship between maternal and newborn health, and the impact of nutrition and other interventions on infant health and development for preterm and term newborns.
Biorepository: A facility that collects, catalogs, and stores samples of biological material, such as urine, blood, tissue, cells, DNA, RNA, and protein, from humans, animals, or plants for laboratory research.
