Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads For Alan DeCherney With my best wishes Peter Nathanielsz. Dr. DeCherney was a pioneer when IVF was first performed successfully in the United States. He was among a handful of physicians who treated some of the earliest patients. Over the years, Dr. DeCherney has mentored more than 100 Reproductive Endocrinologists. Dr. Peter Nathanielsz, formerly director of the Center for Pregnancy and Newborn Research at the University of Texas Health Sciences Center, is now the Distinguished Research Professor of Life Course Studies within the UW College of Agriculture and Natural Resources Department of Animal Science. Peter W. Nathanielsz has researched fetal development for over forty years and was recently named as one of the top 5% of funded NIH investigators in the United States. For his work on fetal development he has been made a Fellow ad Eundem of the Royal College of Obstetricians in England. He delivered the 2011 Messenger Lectures at Cornell University, that university's highest scientific recognition. He wrote the first book for the general reader on Developmental Programming entitled Life in the Womb: The origin of health and disease, published in 1999. The group is the only one in the world owning adult non-human primate cohorts that were prospectively exposed to different prenatal stressors (glucocorticoid exposure and nutrient restriction) and are dedicated to study Developmental Programming of Health and Disease in later life. A story that will change your ideas about health and disease. Full of revolutionary and iconoclastic ideas impacting all our lives and the lives of generations of children as yet unborn. * How we are ushered into life will affect how we leave it. * Diseases such as diabetes can be passed transgenerationally from mother to daughter and from daughter to granddaughter by nongenetic mechanisms. * The idea that our health is programmed in the womb is supported by life-time health records of babies born at the beginning of this century which show that birthweight is closely linked to health in later life.
