Research Focus

The overarching aim of my research program is to improve maternal health by reducing pregnancy-related severe morbidity, including from cardiovascular and thromboembolic complications. My program focuses on the following research themes: epidemiology and risk prediction; innovation in the diagnosis and management of high-risk conditions; and quality improvement and patient safety.
