Very grateful for receiving @MercyPerinatal Mid-Career Women’s Health award. It was an honour to present our research on preeclampsia at @ReproductionSRB #esasrbnzse2026 conference in Sydney and share it with my team! Things got emotional at the end but I got through it 🙏❤️💫

Wonderful to see this international study published especially given how common #ozempic and #wegovy are amongst women of reproductive age. Given the weight catch-up, controlled diet led to better overall placental health. mdpi.com/journal/cells/… @UTS_Science @UTSResearch
Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to article in Cells:”Liraglutide-Driven Weight Loss Modulates Placental Remodeling in Obese Pregnancies in Mice”. Sincere thanks to 🇦🇺 Sarah Glastras, Natassia Rodrigo & @McClementsLana Lana McClements . mdpi.com/3639816
