About

Dr. Karen Forbes is an Associate Professor at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom. Her research focuses on gestational diabetes and its impact on placental and vascular health, as evidenced by her recent articles on the physiological implications of gestational diabetes and endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Additionally, she explores molecular changes in diabetic placentas and the role of microRNAs in pregnancies complicated by maternal diabetes.
