Discovering the Source
Long ago, early explorers searched for the sources of the world’s great rivers, often through great adversity. “Discovering the source” became a life’s work for some of these explorer-discovers.

We showcase our exploration of the underlying mechanisms and fundamental processes occurring during the earliest stages of development that later adversely impact children’s and adults’ health. We highlight this work of discovery because understanding such mechanisms is essential to developing the early interventions or therapies that will prevent or obviate adverse outcomes and alter the developmental origins of pediatric and adult disease.
