IMPORTANT POINTS & DISCOVERIES

• Neonatal and adult diseases often originate during early fetal development (e.g., cerebral palsy following fetal inflammatory response syndrome)
  
• Collaboration of highly specialized multi-disciplinary teams of investigators are needed to study the normal and aberrant developmental processes that unite with molecular, genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors during pregnancy/early fetal life and result in subsequent disease
  
• Understanding of disease mechanisms may lead to targeted interventions that improve subsequent health and survival free of impairment (e.g., therapeutic hypothermia for neonatal encephalopathy)
