About Professor Michael Peek
Professor Peek's research interests include the screening for and management of pre-eclampsia, the use of stem cells for ischaemic neurological damage in neonates, preterm delivery, and the audit of medical disorders in pregnancy. His passion for obstetrics and obstetric research was based on the belief that if you can provide someone with a healthy start to life they are more likely to reach their full potential. Thus better health care and more research around the perinatal period will have a profound positive effect on society.
