Biography

My work is focused on improving the health of women during and after pregnancy. To assist in accomplishing this objective, I direct the Women's Health Tissue Repository, a high-quality longitudinal collection of biological samples and clinical information from all stages of women's lives. My own research focuses on the effects of vaping during pregnancy. In addition, we study the long-term effects of hypertension in pregnancy to the mother and child.
