The group's clinical research addresses the impact of perinatal factors, such as mode of delivery, nutrition and neonatal care on life-long health and well-being. The group also has a major focus on improving the quality of routinely recorded clinical information and using these data for clinical trials and health services research, and to evaluate neonatal care.
Professor Modi led the development of the UK National Neonatal Research Database and directs the Neonatal Data Analysis Unit. The National Neonatal Research Database is managed at the Neonatal Data Analysis Unit and is an award-winning resource supporting national and international research groups, and UK health services.
