Prof\u00a0Kypros\u00a0Nicolaides<\/h1>\n

\"Headshot\"Professor of Fetal Medicine<\/h2>\n

Kypros Nicolaides studied medicine at King\u2019s College School of Medicine and Dentistry in London and soon after graduation joined the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 1980, doing research with Professor Stuart Campbell and Professor Charles Rodeck as his first assistant, working mainly on fetoscopic techniques and procedures. He was well known for his manual dexterity at procedures and the Rodeck-Nicolaides team soon produced some very important papers on the use of fetoscopy in the management of a wide range of conditions such Rhesus iso-immunization, fetal hydrops and intrauterine growth restriction, and procedures such as blood and tissue sampling in the diagnosis of single gene defects.<\/p>\n

After the departure of Professor Rodeck, Nicolaides became director of the Harris Birthright Research Centre for Fetal Medicine, the first fetal medicine unit in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

He has contributed to over one thousand journal articles and more than thirty books and monographs.<\/p>\n

Concluding a major part of his work over the years regarding the 11-13 weeks scan assessment (including measurement of nuchal translucency) he has proposed a new model of pregnancy care \u201cTurning the Pyramid of prenatal Care\u201d. This model shows that it is now possible to assess the risk for most of the relevant complications affecting mother and unborn child if combined screening tests are carried out in a specialist outpatient clinic following protocols published by The Fetal Medicine Foundation. Assessing the risk for those pregnancy complications at such an early time in pregnancy this might doctors not just give the chance to reassure patients but also to prevent some of these complications (such as Pre-Eclampsia or Premature Birth). Those complications are major contributors to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.<\/p>\n

GIFT-Surg focus<\/h2>\n

Kypros will provide expertise on the use of fetoscopic techniques and procedures as well as insight into surgical processes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
