Pediatric and Perinatal Pathology: The Placenta: Diagnosis, Research and Impact on Women
Tuesday July 12, 0800-1130
Symposium Objectives: At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
1. List the placental pathology findings that have impact on management of the mother and neonate.
2. Survey the benefits and challenges if standardized placental reporting.
3. Investigate the biological basis of current and novel biomarker indicators of placental disease.
4. Consider how an omics approach can contribute to placental pathology.
5. Contextualize omics data into the framework of pathology including knowledge about structural heterogeneity.
6. Reconsider the placenta through an interdisciplinary perspective and see it not only as a biological organ but as social relation and to reflect how this informs ethics and responsibility.
