As a clinical researcher in life course epidemiology, healthy aging and longevity, and chronic disease prevention, she leads several large investigations aimed at identifying risk factors for developing shingles (herpes zoster), and the adverse health and quality of life effects that shingles can have, including cardiovascular disease and dementia.
Her research is based in large ongoing cohort studies, including the Nurses’ Health Studies, Growing Up Today Study, and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study. She is also the co-founder and director of the Conservation of Hearing Study (CHEARS), a large longitudinal investigation study of ear and hearing disorders, and has published extensively on risk factors for hearing loss and tinnitus.
