Research Interests:
Over the years my research has included topics within women’s health (Premenstrual Syndrome, menopause), cardiovascular health (perimenopausal changes in cardiovascular health in women, intra-abdominal adipose tissue as a cardiovascular risk factor), substance abuse and treatment (clinical trials of new pharmacological products for addiction, women and substance abuse), and evolutionary and epidemiological sciences. I have previously published my work on the demographics of various diseases and biological states, sociopsychological predictors of disease symptomatology, epidemiological studies of disease patterns in women, and the testing of hypothesis-driven models predicting behavior, symptomatology, and psycho-intellectual abilities and aptitudes.
