Good luck Sarah!
23 January 2012
We'd like to wish Dr Sarah Stock the very best of luck for a fellowship she is taking up in March at the University of Western Australia, in Perth. Sarah will be building on the work she undertook during her time at the Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory, where she was investigating infections that can cause preterm labour.
In Perth, she will be looking at new techniques in the production of antimicrobial peptides which can help protect against these infections. Sarah will also be part of an international study on the genetics of preterm labour, which may allow those at risk of preterm labour be indentified, and for targeted therapies to be developed.
We look forward to hearing how the research progresses. Good luck Sarah!

The money for the Midwives Travel Fellowship comes from the Jennifer Brown Research Fund Fife Appeal, which was wound up last month.
