O'Tierney-Ginn Placenta Lab

O'Tierney-Ginn Placenta Lab The O'Tierney-Ginn lab studies how the mom, baby and placenta "talk" to each other. The placenta is a fascinating organ. It's not cute like the kidneys.

In our lab, we study how a mother's diet, metabolism and body type (her nutritional profile) affects the growth and function of the placenta. It's the only organ that disposes of itself when it's no longer needed. The length of the placental capillaries combined is 32 miles. It is one of our most important organs, and the most poorly understood. It doesn't dance like the heart. But it's your fetus' best friend.
