Contributions to Public Health
- I am an established cardiovascular and women’s heath epidemiologist. My research focuses on the menopause transition (MT) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). I have made key contributions that establish the MT as a stage of CVD risk acceleration. As women transition through menopause they experience adverse changes in their endogenous sex hormones, lipids, visceral abdominal adiposity, vascular thickness and stiffness that together could increase their future risk of CVD.

- I have a long-standing expertise in coordinating large multi-center observational and clinical studies and applying complex statistical methodologies. One critical cohort study is the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN), the largest study of the menopause transition in the US. Within SWAN, I developed and spearhead the application of complex statistical methodologies that enabled us to disentangle the contributions of chronological aging vs. ovarian aging in women’s health.

- Academically, I made significant contributions to teaching and departmental education goals. I have led improvements in our Epidemiology core curriculum, created new courses, and taught Epidemiologic Methods courses for the last 12 years to graduate students. I am dedicated to mentoring students, research fellows, and junior faculty. My mentees have been very successful with their scholarly work, having been frequently featured and many of them have received honors and awards for their academic achievements.
