Overview of the Lawrence D. Longo MD Center for Perinatal Biology

The Lawrence D. Longo MD Center for Perinatal Biology conducts multidisciplinary research to reduce chronic diseases by promoting a healthy lifestyle before conception, during pregnancy, and in infancy. Their goal is to prevent and treat developmental causes of adult diseases and contribute to national and international leadership in developmental programming of health and disease.
