Her research spans cellular and molecular developmental biology, focusing on avian heart development, cardiac progenitor cells, and the role of Periostin-Like-Factor (PLF) in bone-heart connections. Recent work explores PLF's role in bone formation and disease.

Key article trends include cardiac development, bone biology, extracellular matrix proteins, and inflammatory responses. Collaborative studies address clinical applications in traumatic brain injury and cancer biology.

She has mentored students at all academic levels, with many winning regional/national awards, and organized faculty mentorship workshops. Publications highlight collaborations in Cell Molecular Life Sciences, J Cell Biochemistry, and Development.

Labs and teams at Temple University focus on integrating molecular biology with translational research, particularly in the Fels Cancer Institute for Personalized Medicine.
