Dr. Lodise's research centers on critical intersections of women's health and public health, specifically tobacco cessation counseling dynamics, obstetric pharmacotherapy, and curriculum innovation for hormonal/reproductive health education. Her work addresses significant gaps in pharmacist training while developing clinical resources for over-the-counter medication use in vulnerable populations, emphasizing patient-centered care models and public health impact.

Her recent publications (2018-2021) demonstrate consistent contributions to women's health pharmacotherapy and pharmacy education, with recurring themes in hormonal contraception training, infertility management, pregnancy/lactation drug safety, and governance structures in academic pharmacy. These works collectively advance evidence-based frameworks for pharmacists' expanding clinical roles in reproductive healthcare.
