There aren’t enough midwives and too many babies are born too soon. In the UK, ~60,000 premature births happen each year. At Borne, we fund research and support future experts working to improve outcomes.
#IDM2026 #OneMillionMoreMidwives
Understanding premature birth is only part of the challenge, we also need treatments that can change outcomes today.
Borne funds research exploring safe ways to delay labour, reduce complications, and improve outcomes for babies born too soon.

10 years of Borne - over the last decade, together we’ve:
🩷 Invested £8.5 million into research
🩷 Supported 40+ pioneering projects
🩷 Funded research in 6 countries
🩷 Supported future researchers and clinicians
🩷 Built a global community united by one mission
Why does premature birth happen? We still don’t fully know.
Borne-funded research from Imperial College London is exploring how the mother’s immune system may influence pregnancy and preterm birth, helping us move closer to earlier prediction and better outcomes for babies.
We're delighted to congratulate Professor Anne Dell on being ranked among the UK's top 40 scientists in the field of Biology & Biochemistry . Professor Dell is a co-investigator on a recently completed Borne-funded project, exploring the development of a test to help predict preterm birth.
How can we prevent preterm birth if we don’t fully understand what triggers labour?
At Borne, our Finding Answers research focuses on uncovering the biology of pregnancy, building the foundation for future preventative treatments. Find out more in the 'research' section of our website.

On #WorldHealthDay, we recognise premature birth as a critical global health challenge.
15 million babies are born too soon each year, with long-term impacts on health, development and healthcare systems.
At Borne, we fund research to better understand and prevent preterm birth worldwide. 🌍
52 researchers. One room.
From Big BUMP to emerging technologies and critical debates on research ethics, the Borne Collaborative 2026 brought global expertise together to shape what comes next in pregnancy research.

We’re proud to support research exploring how immune cells help the placenta implant in early pregnancy. Understanding this process could help predict and prevent complications that lead to preterm birth.
