The Two Types of Preeclampsia

The Future of Preeclampsia Research

What does the future hold for preeclampsia research? 3D-printed placentas, of course. I speak to Professor Lana McClements about her groundbreaking work. And do you want to be part of a brand new study? Dr Bernadette Jenner tells us about the POPPY Study. And we meet mum Zoe, who knows first-hand the cost of severe early-onset preeclampsia.

There Are More Drugs for Erectile Dysfunction

Why have there been more drugs developed for erectile dysfunction than for anything that can happen in pregnancy? This episode explores the funding gaps and regulatory history that have left preeclampsia so poorly understood. we hear from Rita, a scientist who lost her daughter Freya to it.

What's Race Got To Do With It?

Why are Black women so disproportionately affected by preeclampsia? I speak to two researchers untangling the role of genetics, ancestry, and race in maternal health, plus one mum whose story shows exactly why this matters.

Is It the Dad's Fault?

In this episode, I dive into the genetics behind preeclampsia and explore a fascinating question: could genes from the father actually be responsible for triggering the condition? I speak to Professor Carlos Galaviz Hernandez and Professor Gustaaf Dekker about this very topic. We also meet Kristen from Belfast, who shares her birth story and how she became critically ill without even realising what was happening to her.

The Two Types of Preeclampsia

I speak to leading scientist and researcher, Professor Graham Burton, about the two different types of preeclampsia. I also check out my heart health with cardiologist Dr Francesco Lo Monaco. We meet fellow preeclampsia mum Anthea, who shares her birth story and experience with this condition.
