International Society for Developmental Origins of Health and Disease
The International Society for Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHad) [1] was set up to promote research into the foetal and developmental origins of disease and involves scientists from many backgrounds. DOHaD researchers are actively engaged in devising and evaluating primary interventions to promote a healthy start to life. They are also focusing on counteracting the effects of a poor start to life in order to reduce later NCD risk, by identifying biomarkers that could help susceptible individuals and populations to reduce such future risk. DOHad’s activities involve engaging in research at the highest level; inspiring and training future researchers and educators; advocating for interventions based on DOHaD concepts with stakeholders and engaging them in building new initiatives to promote a healthy start to life for all members of the next generation [2]
