Research Focus

As a clinician-researcher in reproductive psychiatry and developmental neuroendocrinology, my research currently focuses on the developmental impact of parental mental health and prenatal hormonal programming on child development. Long-term goals include bridging the gap between perinatal mental health research and public health strategy, as well as building a solid mental health infrastructure to care for mothers, fathers and children during the perinatal transition.
