Models of Embryonic Histiotrophic Nutrition in Organogenesis

Craig Harris of the University of Michigan in the U.S. will develop 3-dimensional embryo culture models to study how maternal diets and environmental factors affect embryonic growth when organ tissues are being developed. Understanding this process could inform ways to reduce disruptions to the fetal development process that might affect growth, disease susceptibility and behavior later in life.
