Research Interests

My clinical interests include pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, minimally invasive urogynecologic surgery, female pelvic reconstruction, recovery after childbirth and childbirth injury, recurrent UTI, and bladder and pelvic pain.

My research interests include the host response to biomaterials, novel pelvic organ prolapse treatment modalities, recovery after childbirth, and pathophysiology of pelvic floor disorders.
