Jack Darby is an early career researcher within the Early Origins of Adult Health Research Group at the University of South Australia. Jack’s research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which sub optimal in utero conditions such as fetal hypoxaemia and hypoglycaemia influence cardiac development and program adult onset cardiovascular disease. More recently he has been focussed on combining clinically translatable MRI measures with molecular techniques to test the effectiveness of intervention strategies that may reverse or prevent these detrimental molecular, morphological and functional changes from occurring in the fetal heart.

About me
Jack Darby is an early career researcher within the Early Origins of Adult Health Research Group at the University of South Australia. Jack’s research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms by which sub optimal in utero conditions such as fetal hypoxaemia and hypoglycaemia influence cardiac development and program adult onset cardiovascular disease. More recently he has been focussed on combining clinically translatable MRI measures with molecular techniques to test the effectiveness of intervention strategies that may reverse or prevent these detrimental molecular, morphological and functional changes from occurring in the fetal heart.
Ultimately, Jack hopes to validate MRI techniques to measure fetal oxygenation, blood flow and cardiac function; so as to better inform clinicians about the health status of the intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetus. In the long term the Early Origins of Adult Health Research group aim to develop an intervention strategy for IUGR fetuses so that every baby, no matter how small, has the best heart health in later life.
