Her research and clinical interests lie in the primary headache disorders, in particular, the non-painful parts of the migraine attack and increasing understanding of these through experimental research and functional neuroimaging. Her PhD research was funded by an Association of British Neurologists and Guarantors of Brain Clinical Research Training Fellowship and examined the premonitory phase of migraine, in particular, using pharmacological provocation and functional MR methods. She has published in this area, as well as in other areas related to the neurobiology of headache in general.
