University of
Warwick

University of Warwick is one of the UK’s leading research-intensive universities, known for excellence in the social sciences, medicine, and population health research. With a strong international profile and a commitment to impactful, interdisciplinary science, Warwick contributes high-quality expertise to understanding health and development across the lifespan.

Within IMPROVE PRETERM, the University of Warwick leads research on adult outcomes after very preterm birth. The team brings expertise in psychology, epidemiology, and lifecourse research, supported by data from established adult cohorts of individuals born very preterm. By linking early-life experiences with health, cognitive, and social outcomes in adulthood, Warwick’s work helps illuminate how very preterm birth shapes long-term trajectories.

Their contribution strengthens the project’s ability to examine outcomes across all age groups – from infancy through adulthood – providing crucial evidence for lifelong follow-up strategies and policies that support individuals born very preterm.
