BioMood

The BioMood project will study how following a Mediterranean diet during pregnancy affects the gut microbiome, metabolism, and inflammation, with the expectation that it will promote a healthier microbiome and better mental health.

The PrEggNut Study

Does the amount of eggs and peanuts a mother eats during pregnancy and breastfeeding have an influence on whether her baby will develop an egg or peanut food allergy?

Mental Health & Wellbeing

Mental health and wellness is critical to the overall wellbeing of a person, and can also impact on physical health. Researchers are exploring the mental wellbeing of mothers and their experience of motherhood and pregnancy, and effective support options available. Mental health development of the child is also explored, as well as the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ORIGINS families.
