Her notable contributions include studying sex disparities in adult asthma and the regulation of airway immunity through epithelial microRNAs. She has published extensively on the role of lung regulatory T cells and their influence on obesity and allergic inflammation. Noteworthy publications include her work in Clinical Translational Allergy, Cell Reports, and Immunological Reviews, among others, detailing the interplay between immune responses and environmental allergens.
