Valery Danilack-Fekete, PhD, MPH, is a faculty researcher at the Yale School of Medicine, affiliated with the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences. Her work focuses on maternal and perinatal health, reproductive epidemiology, and healthcare delivery models.

Her research interests include:

• Maternal and Child Health
• Reproductive Epidemiology
• Prenatal Care Innovations (including telehealth and reduced visit schedules)
• Gestational Diabetes and Cesarean Delivery Risk
• Health Equity in Perinatal Outcomes
• Patient Experiences in Labor and Delivery

Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on evaluating clinical practices and health services in obstetrics, particularly during the pandemic. She has developed and validated risk prediction models for maternal and neonatal complications, including preeclampsia-related cardiovascular morbidity and cesarean delivery in gestational diabetes. Her work integrates epidemiological methods with clinical data to improve maternal health outcomes.

Her research trends indicate a commitment to evidence-based maternal care, with an emphasis on optimizing antenatal care delivery, understanding disparities, and improving decision-making through predictive analytics.
