          Studying the pregnant giraffe as a natural animal model for resistance to high blood pressure in human pregnancy

          Working with maternal-fetal physicians, veterinary pathologists and placenta specialists, Dr.

          Natterson-Horowitz seeks the mechanisms behind female giraffes’ resistance to the leading cause of death in pregnant women and their babies. Pregnant giraffes’ blood pressures routinely rise to 300/180 -- heights considered deadly for pregnant women -- yet the animals face zero complications. 

           

          The project is a collaboration with the Smithsonian’s Global Health Program, UC San Diego School of Medicine, San Diego Zoo, UCLA Cardiac Arrhythmia Center, and Harvard University’s human evolutionary biology department.
