The Perinatal Epidemiology Lifecourse Lab – Team Neda Razaz

We specialize in linking and analyzing large datasets from Sweden and Canada to investigate the impact of maternal and paternal morbidity during pregnancy, as well as medication use for both mothers and babies during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. Our research follows health trajectories across the life course of both mother and child.

Our research

Our current research centers on three key areas:

  • Maternal and Paternal Chronic Illness: Investigating the role of chronic conditions—such as epilepsy—during pregnancy, and the impact of medication use on long-term health outcomes for both parents and offspring.
  • Neonatal Factors and Interventions: Exploring how neonatal health factors and early interventions influence the risk of neurodevelopmental and cardiovascular outcomes in childhood and early adulthood.
  • Severe Maternal and Neonatal Morbidity: Examining the long-term health consequences of severe maternal and neonatal morbidity for both women and their children.
