Recruiting Pregnant Women
The PLACENTA study is looking at physical activity and dietary implications throughout pregnancy and recruiting pregnant women less than 28 weeks pregnant, between 18-40 years of age, normal weight or overweight. Please contact placenta@uottawa.ca or

Under the lead of Dr. Kristi Adamo, the Prevention in the Early Years research program at the University of Ottawa focuses on early intervention and upstream prevention of the intergenerational cycle of obesity and metabolic disease. Specifically, we investigate the relationship between pregnancy and downstream health, and the impact of healthy active living on placental biology. We also explore the applicability of healthy active living intervention strategies during key phases of growth, development and determination of long term health (i.e. intrauterine, preschool).

Our Mission
|
Through research and collaboration we aim to explore relationships between pregnancy and downstream health, and the impact of healthy active living on placental biology. Furthermore, we strive to discover healthy active living intervention strategies for children and mothers-to-be. By offering a healthy start to society's youth and future generations to come, we aspire to reduce the health care burden faced by society. We are motivated to ensure that young children begin life with a healthy foundation from which they can live a long, healthy, and prosperous life. We are driven to pursue our vision of a healthier future.

Our Current Research Focus
|
Dr. Adamo’s research program is aimed at the early prevention of obesity and promotion of long-term health and includes projects related to the impact of healthy active living on placental biology, the relationships between pregnancy and downstream health, the impact of physical activity (PA) adoption in the early years, and positive practices for lifestyle interventions during pregnancy. In collaboration with US-based colleagues, her team is also customizing a pregnancy-focused mHealth app called SmartMoms-Canada. Continuation of this work will include an evaluation of the effectiveness of this app-based program to reduce excessive gestational weight gain and optimize maternal health and offspring growth. In parallel, her team is embarking on an exciting project examining potential physical activity-induced changes in placenta biology. The PLACENTA study is the first of its kind to take a comprehensive look at the role of PA during pregnancy in regulating gene expression and metabolic function in the placenta. This novel project will use a multi-tiered approach including; global gene expression using transcriptional and ribosomal profiling, transport kinetics using the ex vivo placenta perfusion model, and systemic maternal and fetal mass spectrometry-based metabolomics.
