Research summary
I am a third-year PhD student with a focus on maternal and child health epidemiology. My primary research interests include the epidemiology of disease causes and their outcomes. My ongoing research aims to investigate the impact of prenatal antihypertensive medication exposure on longer-term child neurodevelopmental and educational outcomes by analysing routinely collected data. Understanding the potential risks associated with medication is essential to informed decision-making, and this is a major contribution of my work.
