These studies have encompassed populations with poor access to therapeutics, people who inject drugs and the LGBTQI+ community. More recently her research has focused on the analysis of routinly collected data to assess the impact of COVID-19.

She has been a chief investigator in studies which have been awarded over $20M in research grants and resulted in over 200 publications. As part of her work in clinical trials she has managed and participated by invitation in Data Safety Monitoring Boards for local and international studies.
