Her research spans maternal health, pregnancy complications, and early life programming, with core interests in intimate partner violence impacts, epigenetic mechanisms linking maternal obesity to childhood outcomes, perinatal mental health, and nutritional epidemiology. She employs Danish national registers and large cohort studies like STOP-VIO-PREG and the Danish National Birth Cohort to investigate social, biological, and metabolic determinants of birth outcomes.

Her work demonstrates significant public health relevance, with multiple studies covered by 37 news outlets and shared across 94 X accounts, highlighting societal impact beyond academic circles.
