My clinical research program focuses on clinical and epidemiologic research in neurogastroenterology and motility, specifically the epidemiology of irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation, early life risk factors for irritable bowel syndrome, physiologic characterization of  chronic constipation and bloating, the differential effects of gender on  functional GI disease, and women's health in functional GI disease.

I serve as an investigator in the Mass General Clinical and Translational Epidemiology Unit (CTEU), a home for investigators from multiple disciplines using epidemiology to advance the understanding of chronic disease led by Dr. Andrew Chan. I am also a member of the newly-formed Center  for Neuro-intestinal Disease at Mass General, a multidisciplinary group of gastroenterologists and surgeons dedicated to the advancement of the science underpinning disorders of GI motility and combining expertise in epidemiology, clinical research, translational research, and basic science into one group.
