In her dissertation on -"Interleukin-6 as the Early Marker of Neonatal Sepsis in Babies Born to Mothers with PROM and PPROM," she investigates the role of IL-6 as a potential early indicator of neonatal sepsis. This research is particularly significant for neonates born to mothers with Premature Rupture of Membranes (PROM) and Preterm PROM (PPROM), as it aims to facilitate early detection and intervention, ultimately reducing morbidity and mortality rates among vulnerable newborns.
