Developmental programming research at London research centre
The London research unit is examining the hypothesis (termed 'Developmental Programming') that nutritional imbalance when a baby is in the womb may 'programme' the baby to develop disease or health problems later in life. Interest and studies to date have focused on the effects that a poor diet during pregnancy may have on the baby and the programming of cardiovascular disease.
