iPlacenta (iplacenta.eu) is a Horizon 2020 European research training network, focussing on modelling the placenta for research to improve maternal and fetal health. The programme brings together experimental, clinical, engineering and theoretical groups to create a cross-European interdisciplinary team to model the placenta for early detection of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction.

There are 15 early career PhD projects available. Applications should be made through the projects website: https://www.iplacenta.eu/recruitment.html.
