Dr Henry Gomez won a grant to investigate the role of iron status and supplementation during pregnancy on respiratory disease in children.

Dr Gomez says, “In a world-first study, we will use an ongoing clinical study (NEW1000) to investigate the relationship between iron levels and supplementation during different stages of pregnancy on asthma and respiratory function in children.

We will use this information to inform guidelines for optimal maternal iron level and supplementation practices that may be implemented to mitigate asthma risk in children.”
