Research

I work with Professor Dino Giussani to determine the long-term impact of combined effects of chronic fetal hypoxia and prenatal glucocorticoids on cardiovascular function in offspring, and whether antenatal mitochondria-targeted antioxidant (MitoQ) treatment can prevent adverse cardiovascular consequences.

My research interests are: 

  1. Fetal hypoxia and developmental programming of heart disease
  2. Perinatal glucocorticoid treatment and developmental programming of heart disease, and
  3. Cardiac metabolism and developmental programming of heart disease
