How We Help
Improving the Health of Mom & Baby is Our Priority
The Center for Better Beginnings is dedicated to improving maternal health and child development, with a focus on better understanding, preventing, and treating birth defects. Birth defects are a leading cause of infant mortality in the United States and a major public health priority. More than 5,500 infants die each year because of birth defects—that is 4 times the rate caused by accidents or unintentional injuries.
Babies who live with birth defects can be at a higher risk for many lifelong physical, intellectual and/or behavioral challenges. Learning your child may have a birth defect can be difficult to absorb. Our customized care approach offers programs and services to support families seeking diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Our Center’s focus is on the comprehensive elimination of birth defects. We know this is only possible through pioneering research efforts, coupled by public health outreach and professional training. See how our programs work together to improve maternal health and promote better outcomes for both parents and babies.
What We Do
Working to Improve the Health of Moms & Babies
Birth defects affect 1 in 33 babies. While not all birth defects can be prevented, many can. UC San Diego’s Center for Better Beginnings works to identify, prevent and treat birth defects that are caused by environmental factors. Since these harmful exposures occur outside of our genetics, we strive to reduce the risks of birth defects with the goal of eliminating them from our lives.
Discover how we are working to improve the health of moms and babies.

A Better Beginning for Every Baby
Through the Prevention of Birth Defects
The Center for Better Beginnings at UC San Diego is advancing the health of moms and babies. Located in the Department of Pediatrics, also known as the Division of Environmental Science and Health, we bring together multiple maternal and infant health programs that focus on the identification, prevention, and treatment of birth defects. In order to give every baby the healthiest life possible, you have to start at the beginning.
Birth defects, or congenital anomalies, are structural or functional abnormalities caused by problems during the baby’s development inside the womb. There are two causes for birth defects: genetics and environmental factors. Our specialty is identifying elements from a person’s environment that interrupt healthy cell development in their baby, such as alcohol and certain medications.
Discover how we are pioneering research, providing superb clinical care, and educating the next generation of leaders so we can improve lives everywhere.
