His research focuses on placental development, maternal-fetal medicine, and the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes and maternal obesity. Recent work employs advanced multi-modal mass spectrometry imaging to reveal functional differences in placental villous compartments and investigates dysregulated mitochondrial dynamics, cellular senescence pathways, and fatty acid β-oxidation in placentas from complicated pregnancies. His findings have been published in Nature Communications, Placenta, and Advanced Science.
