During genetics residency, her research has focused on prenatal and preconception genetics. She has explored the isolation and analysis of intact fetal cells from maternal blood with Dr. Ignatia Van den Veyver, and different methods to identify low-level mosaicism in parents of a fetus or a child with a genetic disorder caused by an apparent de novo variant with Dr. Pawel Stankiewicz and Dr. Van den Veyver.
