Rebecca M. Gardner
Ph.D. Student in Epidemiology and Clinical Research, admitted Autumn 2022
BioMy research interests are around hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), defined as severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy that often leads to significant maternal undernutrition, and is one of the primary causes of hospitalization during pregnancy. I am interested in the link between HG and offspring outcomes, both around birth and into childhood; trends in antiemetic prescriptions; and whether certain environmental exposures exacerbate HG symptoms, leading to hospitalization.
Before starting a PhD, I was a biostatistician in the Quantitative Sciences Unit at Stanford for four years where I co-authored over thirty publications, collaborating with clinicians on various domains including developmental behavioral pediatrics, reproductive endocrinology & infertility, oncology, and clinical trials. I completed my MS in Statistics at Brigham Young University in 2016, where I collaborated with cardiologists to develop a new approach to diagnose rheumatic heart disease in pediatric patients in Samoa for my Master's thesis. -
