- Expertise: Commercial determinants of health, tobacco industry analysis, policy evaluation, and corporate accountability.
- Key Contributions: Development of models to understand corporate influence on science and policy, evaluation of smokefree legislation, and tobacco tax strategies.
- Global Impact: Her team launched www.TobaccoTactics.org, a knowledge-exchange platform replicated internationally by the FCTC Secretariat.
Her research focuses on corporate practices in tobacco, fossil fuels, alcohol, and food industries, emphasizing how these sectors manipulate norms and policies to shift blame from systemic failures to individuals. She also explores macroeconomic effects on health, such as post-communism transitions in Eastern Europe.
Recent work includes systematic reviews and meta-analyses on heated tobacco products, corporate pricing strategies in Sub-Saharan Africa, and educational interventions on conflicts of interest. These studies highlight the tobacco industry's adaptive tactics to undermine tax policies and mislead public discourse.
