Dr. Vinet’s research focuses on reproductive issues in women with rheumatic diseases, with the goal of improving reproductive outcomes in women with rheumatic disease and their offspring.
She has created the world’s largest cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) offspring, leading to novel findings on the increased risk of autism spectrum disorders, congenital heart defects, and stillbirths in SLE offspring. Using a large US database, Dr. Vinet also assessed the risk of serious infections in children of patients with rheumatoid arthritis exposed to TNF inhibitors. Currently, Dr. Vinet is establishing an international cohort of SLE pregnancies and conducting a randomized controlled trial to improve preeclampsia knowledge and aspirin adherence in pregnant SLE women.
