At the 2015 IFPA meeting (Brisbane, Australia) twelve themed workshops were held, three of which are summarized in this report. These workshops focused on various aspects of placental function, particularly in cases of placenta-mediated disease. Collectively, these inter-connected workshops highlighted the role of the placenta in fetal programming, the use of various biomarkers to monitor placental function across pregnancy, and the clinical impact of novel diagnostic and surveillance modalities in instances of late onset fetal growth restriction (FGR).</p>info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessBiomarkersDiagnostic testsFetal growth restrictionFetal programmingGestational diabetesIFPA WorkshopPlacentaPlacenta-mediated diseasesPlacental shapePredictive testsPreeclampsiaTranslational researchIFPA meeting 2015 workshop report II: mechanistic role of the placenta in fetal programming; biomarkers of placental function and complications of pregnancyArticle
