I use epidemiological methods to study the relationship between premature infants and lifelong risk of chronic diseases such as hypertension. My research in fellowship used the Danish Medical Registry and a cohort of nearly 2 million births followed for nearly 40 years. It investigated the relationship between gestational age at birth and hypertension as adults. The work has been presented at various national and international conferences and the manuscript is ready for submission. I plan to further my skills in epidemiology through coursework at the Boston School of Public health and continue to work with my mentors.
