Scholarly Interest:
Dr. Ryckman is a perinatal epidemiologist with expertise in statistics, genetics, and metabolomics. Her research has applied a variety of statistical methodologies including the use of genetic risk scores, predictive modeling, and meta-analysis for analyzing pregnancy complications including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and preterm birth. She has established a successful research program that includes several national and international data sources and a large repository of biologic specimens. Her current work focuses broadly on two areas:
- neonatal morbidity and mortality and
- maternal morbidity and mortality.
- improving data measurement and reporting,
- identifying obstetrical and health system risk factors,
- examining social determinants and disparities including maternal mental health, and
- engaging community and stakeholder perspectives in implementation of interventions.
