My research interest lies in the intersection of family life and genetics/genomics. Specifically, I am interested in understanding how families living with inherited conditions manage information about their disease and how this relates to their provision of social support to affected and at-risk relatives. I am also interested in using social network analysis to uncover the social support and caregiving structures in families living with inherited conditions.
