    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    My broad research goals involve improving clinical outcomes in individuals affected by X & Y chromosome variations, including XXY / Klinefelter, XYY, Trisomy X, and Turner syndromes. I focus on studying the relationship between gonadal function and cardiometabolic health in these populations using a variety of research methods, including clinical trials, observational studies, secondary data analyses, surveys, and qualitative methods. Our research team collaborates with basic scientists and other researchers around the world who share the commitment to advancing knowledge for these common but understudied conditions.
