About
I am a perinatal epidemiologist with expertise in statistics, genetics, and metabolomics. My research is focused on the epidemiologic, genetic, and metabolic pathways that contribute to complications of pregnancy, including preterm birth and mental health and complications of prematurity, including low birth weight and neonatal morbidity. My funding portfolio has included various mechanisms within the National Institutes of Health (T32, F31, K99/R00, R01, R03 and R21), Health Services and Resource Administration grants (training and research), Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) grants and Foundation awards (including Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and March of Dimes).
My research has applied a variety of statistical methodologies including the use of genetic risk scores, predictive modeling, and meta-analysis for analyzing pregnancy complications including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth. I have established a successful research program that includes several national and international data sources, a large repository of biologic specimens, and funding to support several students and staff. I leverage population and hospital-level data to identify epidemiological and biological risk factors for adverse maternal-child health outcomes.
