Epidemiology
1. Epidemiology of adverse pregnancy outcomes (preterm delivery, pre-eclampsia, recurrent pregnancy loss, post-partum depression), including genetic aspects
2. Epidemiology of cardiac and cardiovascular disease (ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, sudden cardiac death) and renal disease, particularly familial and genetic aspects
3. Links between adverse pregnancy outcomes and cardiac/cardiovascular/renal disease
2014: recipient of an YDUN (Younger women Devoted to a UNiversity career) grant for research talents (1 of 17 grants awarded). Project title: Anti-angiogenic imbalance -- the missing link between preeclampsia, cardiac disease and cancer?
