eLIXIR BiSL - How early life data is changing our understanding of health
The Early Life Cross-Linkage in Research, Born in South London (eLIXIR BiSL) project uses opt-out consent to collect routine maternity and neonatal clinical patient data, mental health data and primary care data. It is also collecting blood samples from mothers to build a unique bioresource that can be used to investigate the underlying biological processes involved in pregnancy and those influenced by environmental factors. NIHR Maudsley BRC and King’s College London researchers are already using this valuable resource. In this blog Principal Investigators Professor Lucilla Poston and Professor Laura A Magee, along with Research Associate Tisha Dasgupta explores the potential of the eLIXIR cohort to enable research to address health inequalities and improve services.
