Pregnancy is a profound cardiovascular and metabolic challenge for women. My research has focused upon the mechanisms regulating these changes specifically in very small blood vessels. I am also very interested in environmental and metabolic mechanisms which disrupt the vascular adaption to pregnancy and may ultimately contribute to an adverse pregnancy outcome.

Dr. Gandley's research has focused upon the mechanisms regulating these changes specifically in very small blood vessels and in environmental and metabolic mechanisms which disrupt the vascular adaption to pregnancy and may ultimately contribute to an adverse pregnancy outcome.
