F. Bardi

Dr. F. Bardi is affiliated with the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Groningen. Their research focuses on fetal medicine, prenatal diagnosis, and perinatal epidemiology, with particular emphasis on first-trimester screening strategies and ultrasonography applications. They hold a doctoral degree (Dr.) and have authored/co-authored multiple peer-reviewed publications since 2021.

Education:

• PhD in Medical Sciences (2022) – Thesis: 'Genetics meets ultrasound: early prenatal screening for congenital anomalies'

Research Interests
Bardi’s work integrates clinical ultrasound techniques with genetic screening methods (e.g., cell-free DNA analysis) to improve early detection of fetal anomalies. Their studies address cost-effectiveness of screening programs, sonographer training protocols, and patient psychological outcomes. Key areas include:

• Optimizing first-trimester anatomical screening
• Evaluating new diagnostic technologies
• Population-based epidemiological analyses of congenital anomalies

Publications Trends
Recent work emphasizes the interplay between genetic testing and imaging, particularly in high-risk pregnancies. Their 2024 chapter in Global Library of Women’s Medicine highlights advancements in fetal anatomy evaluation. Collaborations with institutions like the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) underscore clinical relevance.

Labs/Teams
Affiliated with the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology research group, focusing on prenatal diagnostics and perinatal outcomes.
