Rate My Professor Christoph Lees

His research focuses on fetal assessment, particularly using Doppler ultrasound, fetal growth restriction, management of severe early-onset pre-eclampsia, scanning in labour, and non-invasive fetal surgery. As chief investigator of the TRUFFLE Study and co-founder of the International Working Group of Maternal Haemodynamics, he has advanced clinical practices in these areas. He has secured significant funding, including a £2.2 million Medical Research Council grant in 2017 for first-in-human studies of high-intensity focused ultrasound and over £2.4 million for research into stillbirth prevention related to fetal growth issues. Professor Lees has authored key textbooks such as Placental-Fetal Growth Restriction (2018) and Maternal Hemodynamics, and contributed to Dewhurst’s Textbook of Obstetrics & Gynaecology. With over 12,000 citations across hundreds of publications, his work influences international guidelines on fetal growth management. He serves on the board of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynaecology since 2015, chairs its Doppler and vascular imaging group, and is a member of its Safety Committee.
