Award to Dr. Nathan Blue for research on individualized fetal growth assessment using maternal genetics and explainable AI to improve risk stratification of fetal growth restriction.
Description
This is a K08 award application for Dr. Nathan Blue, a Maternal-Fetal Medicine physician and young investigator pursuing translational and clinical research to improve risk stratification approaches to fetal growth restriction (FGR). The award provides support for acquiring programming skills, biomedical informatics approaches, and interdisciplinary research leadership to improve prenatal recognition of fetuses at risk of adverse outcomes. The research aims to develop individualized prediction models for fetal growth and risk of perinatal morbidity using maternal genetic variants and explainable AI.
