Her work examines how legal frameworks shape healthcare access, privacy rights, and equity in medical treatment, with special attention to vulnerable populations including pregnant women, people with disabilities, and those affected by the opioid crisis. She has pioneered scholarship on prescription drug monitoring programs, algorithmic bias in healthcare, and the criminalization of drug use and pregnancy.
