On July 1, 2016 the HSF created the Hudson Shea & Stella Faith Research Fund (HSSF) to support pregnancy and infant loss and prematurity research at the Child Health Institute of New Jersey (CHINJ) at the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School (RWJMS) in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The CHINJ is a comprehensive biomedical research center dedicated to improving children's health through the study of the causes of pediatric diseases and the development of innovative treatments and procedures.
Every year, more than 380,000 babies are born prematurely. This causes unimaginable stress on families, increases the risk of health problems for mothers, and is the leading cause of infant illness and death. Every family deserves the chance to have a healthy safe birth, and until that is reality, the Hudson Shea and Stella Faith Research Fund for Pregnancy Loss and Prematurity at the Rutgers Child Health Institute of New Jersey will continue to fuel life-saving discoveries and advance maternal-fetal care.
The HSSF Fund for pregnancy and infant loss and prematurity research will provide essential funding support for multiple research programs relating to pregnancy loss, neonatal death and the complications of premature birth. Primary target areas include neurological development and brain function in preterm babies, perinatal complications including stress pathways into preterm birth and anxiety effects on the fetus, placenta disease prevention and diagnosis and fundamental issues in placenta development, neonatology and inflammatory disease, environmental exposure to babies in the neonatal intensive care unit, immune response in babies born prematurely and prevention of preterm births.
The Child Health Institute is thrilled to be partnering with the Hudson Shea Foundation to understand the fundamental causes of pre-term labor and life-threatening neonatal disorders with the hope of finding new cures and preventions. In collaboration with researchers and clinicians in the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Program of the RWJMS Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences, CHINJ scientists are studying normal and aberrant placental function associated with altered embryonic development, premature delivery and post-natal disorders. In collaboration with neonatologists from the RWJMS Department of Pediatrics, they study immune and inflammatory cells, neural development, and function of stem cells associated with diseases of prematurity and with the later onset of adult disease. These exciting, collaborative studies are providing new insights into some of the most common and devastating problems that affect newborn babies and their families.
