About me

  • I am a physician and epidemiologist whose research spans maternal and perinatal health, with a strong focus on identifying biological and epidemiological predictors of adverse birth outcomes. I have contributed extensively to large population-based cohort studies and multi-country clinical trials, with specific expertise in biomarkers, multi-omics analyses, and the establishment and use of biobanks. My work also extends to non-communicable diseases, health systems research, and register-based studies. Methodologically, I apply quantitative and mixed-methods approaches, advanced statistical analyses, and integrate findings to inform policy and practice in both low- and high-resource settings.
