ABOUT US

We are a medical research charity on a mission to end premature birth – everywhere and forever.

Who We Are

Borne was founded by Professor Mark Johnson – a physician and obstetrician who has seen the devastating effects of prematurity first-hand.

board of trustees

Our Board of Trustees ensure we deliver our charitable aims and purpose whilst overseeing the strategic direction of the charity.

scientific advisory board

Our SAB critically and independently reviews all research studies to ensure we fund the best scientific ideas that will take us closer to achieving our mission.

team borne

Our day-to-day operations are managed by a team of dedicated individuals from a variety of backgrounds.

patrons & ambassadors

A community of influential and vocal advocates and fundraisers who believe in a world without premature birth.

The largest barrier to the development of diagnostic treatment and prevention strategies for preterm birth and stillbirth is our inability to comprehend the biological processes of pregnancy and childbirth.
