Research Summary
Abdel has cultivated an interest in interdisciplinary women's health research, specifically on the intersection of various obstetric and gynecologic conditions with cardiovascular disease, neuropsychiatric disorders, and metabolic health.
Extensive Research Description
Abdel has worked in clinical translational gynecologic research at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine since 2018. His research work has centered on the intersection of cardiometabolic risk and benign gynecology and the outcomes of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery. At Yale, Abdel has shifted to gynecologic cancer research as he prepares to pursue a fellowship in the field. Particularly interested in ovarian cancer research advancement, Abdel hopes to be part of the movement that revolutionizes the paradigm for ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment.
