Her research centers on understanding and preventing cardiovascular disease in rheumatic disorders, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). She has contributed significantly to the development of the Yale lupus patient registry and biorepository, supporting translational research in autoimmune diseases. Her scientific interests include immunology of lupus, inflammation biology, and mechanisms linking autoimmunity to atherosclerosis.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on immune signaling pathways in autoimmune disease, particularly Type I interferon and T cell regulation in lupus. Earlier work involved neutrophil and macrophage signaling, chemoattractant responses, and lipid domain imaging, reflecting a deep background in cellular and molecular immunology.
She has been recognized for excellence in clinical teaching, including receiving the Yale Primary Care Teaching Award for Excellence in Resident Education.
