Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality continue to be prominent public health issues, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Our research aims to promote reduction in maternal and infant mortality by developing and evaluating approaches to strengthen basic health system functions of organization and the delivery of essential and quality health services, human resource management,…
Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide and accounts for one third of maternal deaths in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). PPH can be prevented by the active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL). AMTSL is recommended by the World Health Organization as a series of steps to be performed by skilled birth attendants: the administration of ute…
ADVANCE aims to review, develop and test methods, data sources and procedures which should feed into a blueprint of an efficient and sustainable pan-European framework that can rapidly deliver robust quantitative data for the assessment of the benefits and risks of vaccines that are on the market. Such a framework would allow regulators and public health authorities to make fast, informed decision…
The project aims to quantify the association between exposures to traffic related air pollution and respiratory cancer incidence/mortality in Sao Paulo. and to examine the role of socio-economic status on this relationship.…
In the International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood (ISAAC), the association between asthma and the use of cooking fuels and truck traffic around the world is investigated.…
Maternal and neonatal mortality is unacceptably high in Ethiopia, especially in rural area's, where skilled staff and supplies are minimal. Our hypothesis is that by improving resuscitation skills and equipment of midwife teachers and students as well as community-and institutional health workers, we can significantly decrease maternal and neonatal mortality.…
Ambient Air Pollution and Population Health in the Navrongo Health and Demographic Surveillance Site
This PhD project is dedicated to unraveling the impact of ambient air pollution on population health in Rural Northern Ghana, particularly in the Navrongo Health and Demographic Surveillance Site (NHDSS). The study is leveraging on predictions generated by satellite-derived models to assess the effects of PM2.5 a crucial air pollutant, on key health outcomes.
To facilitate the optimal use of GAIA maternal and neonatal outcome definitions to assure the standardization of the evaluation of the safety of vaccines used for maternal immunization and comparability of studies from different populations.…
Launched in March 2017 and finalised in February 2023, BigData@Heart was a six-year project of the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), a EU public-private consortium consisting of patient networks, learned societies, SMEs, pharmaceutical companies, and academia. BigData@Heart’s ultimate goal was to develop a Big Data-driven translational research platform of unparalleled scale and phenotypic re…
The BLended program IN Clinical Epidemiology for maternal health research (BLINC)’ tailor-made training program aims to address the gaps in clinical epidemiology for maternal health research by use of a blended (online and face-to-face on site) training program…
Deafness is a common neurodisability in rural Nigeria and cochlear implants are not available. This imaging project aims to understand the biological underpinnings of the distinct reorganization patterns in children with different types of deafness and learning disabilities. The brain-wide neuroplastic capacities and global brain network reorganization in the cortex is therefore mapped with electr…

Maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality continue to be prominent public health issues, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Our research aims to promote reduction in maternal and infant mortality by developing and evaluating approaches to strengthen basic health system functions of organization and the delivery of essential and quality health services, human resource management, governance and clinical decision making related to maternal and neonatal health in Ghana.…

PPH can be prevented by the active management of the third stage of labor (AMTSL). AMTSL is recommended by the World Health Organization as a series of steps to be performed by skilled birth attendants: the administration of uterotonics, controlled cord traction, uterine massage and uterine tone assessment.…

Such a framework would allow regulators and public health authorities to make fast, informed decisions regarding vaccination strategies, and help to maintain public confidence in vaccines, particularly when questions are raised in the media about the safety of specific vaccines.…

BigData@Heart’s ultimate goal was to develop a Big Data-driven translational research platform of unparalleled scale and phenotypic resolution in order to deliver clinically relevant disease phenotypes, scalable insights from real-world evidence and insights driving drug development and personalised medicine through advanced analytics. To accomplish this, the BigData@Heart consortium achieved the following: Assembled an u…
