Blood test scans for genetic signature to help predict premature labour
Scientists have developed a prototype blood test to predict whether pregnant women who give signs of early labour will in fact give birth prematurely...
Molly Godfrey is a Volunteer Writer at BioNews, having originally joined the publication under the auspices of its writing scheme. Molly currently works as a clinical scientist in genomics at the North West Genomics Laboratory Hub. She obtained her PhD in Cell and Molecular Biology at Cancer Research UK's London Research Institute (now subsumed into The Francis Crick Institute), where her work made use of budding yeast to further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling cell replication. Previously, she studied Biological Sciences at the University of Warwick.
