How would you explain your research in 3 sentences to someone who is not in Science?

My work was based on Yoga and pregnancy. I was looking at the effect of Yoga on pregnancy outcome(the health of mother and baby) and its effect on Umbilical Cord Blood derived stem cells. I will investigate the potency of stem cells by transplanting them into, mouse model of memory loss.

About your work?

We designed a Pregnancy Yoga protocol for pregnant women in  2nd and 3rd trimester by consulting Yoga experts. We provided Yoga intervention to recruited participants and effect of Yoga was analysed  on pregnancy outcome and on stem cells by transplanting them into animal model of memory loss. Results compared between Yoga group (with intervention) and control group (without intervention) .
