Dr Jankovic-Karasoulos is a molecular biologist working on multiple aspects of pregnancy health. She holds a Research Fellow position in the College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University, and is a member of the Pregnancy, Health and Beyond (PHaB) research team. Her research involves characterisation of molecular processes involved in placental development and function across gestation and how these are disrupted in pregnancy complications.  Her focus is on identifying molecular pathways that are controlling oxidative stress during pregnancy, particularly in early gestation, and working toward understanding the role that micronutrients play in these pathways. She has established a number of cell and tissue culture models to study placental function in vitro and the interaction of micronutrients with molecular and epigenetic pathways that are underlining placental development. Dr Jankovic-Karasoulos also collaborates on research projects that are working on understanding placental innate immune responses to viral infections.
