So there's really two main options for aneuploidy screening.

So that is to check what the chromosomes or to see whether or not the baby might have a chromosomal abnormality.

Why would you choose a caesarean section without a clear clinical indication? What do those discussions look like? Are they possible in the public system for people listening if you're going through the public care? Can you choose an elective caesarean? Is it an option?

Yeah.

Yeah, for sure.

So I'm a clinician scientist.

So I've got both a clinical background and I'm a practicing obstetrician as well as I'm an academic.

And so I'd done a PhD, a wet lab PhD looking for therapies in preeclampsia and repurposing medications.

And that project was now at a level whereby we're running clinical trials in South Africa.

And so I was at a point in my career where I was thinking, right, what do I want? for my lab to look like and what are the pressing problems that I feel need solving within the specialty of obstetrics and gynecology.

love it.
