Research Interests

I have been involved in a number of clinical trials that have examined the role of hormone therapy and alternative treatments in menopausal women's health. I have also been involved in epidemiologic research for over 25 years in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation, which has followed 3,000 women of 5 different ethnicities who have traversed the menopause. SWAN is examining a variety of outcomes and risk factors for health and disease in US women. I am also studying how obesity in women interferes with fertility and reproductive hormone production. I have also had a longstanding research interest in premature ovarian failure. I am PI for a clinical trial examining treatment for endometriosis. In addition to these grants, I am the lead investigator on 3 mentored research NIH grant awards.
