Current research Her research interests have focused on infections in pregnancy, preterm birth and fetal injury related to Group B Streptococcus, E. coli and more recently, the Zika virus. Her laboratory is actively investigating the following areas: 1) virulence and host factors that contribute to bacterial and viral trafficking into the amniotic cavity and fetus, 2) how activation of innate immune responses by pathogens within the placenta and fetus contributes to pregnancy complications and fetal injury, 3) how disruption of maternal-fetal tolerance by pathogens contributes to preterm birth, and 4) the role of novel therapeutics to prevent preterm birth and fetal injury due to pathogens. She is also studying the long-term outcomes of infections in pregnancy in Scandinavian health registries.
Main topics: 1. Pregnancy infections 2. Preterm birth 3. Fetal brain and lung injury 4. Placenta 5. Developmental origins of health and disease.
