My research focuses on perinatal influences on child development, with a primary goal to understand the mechanisms through which in-utero and early-life exposures can affect neurodevelopment and neuropsychiatric outcomes in offspring.
Studying these questions, my team investigates comorbidity across the life course - with a specific focus on reproductive and mental health conditions; impact of maternal health in pregnancy on child development; and implementation of genetic and family-based designs to advance insights into familial confounding in observational studies.
My research in these areas integrate data from different modalities (e.g. genotype, health records), and triangulates findings from multiple study designs and from geographically diverse cohorts. My lab has expertise in a range of methods in observational, genetic and epigenetic epidemiology, which we apply to different large-scale data resources, including national registers, electronic health records, commercial and federal health databases, as well as molecular readouts from representative and population-based samples (genotype, DNA methylation).
