 Marilyn Browne is a Research Scientist at the New York State Department of Health and an Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the University at Albany’s School of Public Health. Her focus is gaps in knowledge about the risks and benefits of different treatments for chronic maternal conditions.
What are your research interests?
I am interested in studying medical conditions and common exposures during pregnancy in the hope of learning more about what causes birth defects and what does not. I believe that identifying medications that do not increase the risk of birth defects is important in providing guidance to physicians and reassurance to women planning pregnancies.
Why do you think the NBDPS is important?
Because of its large size and collection of detailed information, the NBDPS is the type of study needed to expand our knowledge about birth defects and improve the lives of mothers and babies.
What are your major interests outside of work?
Family, bike riding, and hiking.
