Dr. Qureshi is a social epidemiologist studying the childhood origins of chronic disease. Her research examines (1) whether early psychosocial assets (e.g., psychological well-being, positive family relationships, social capital) help young people sustain optimal health states over time, and (2) the extent to which the social patterning of early assets contributes to cardiovascular health disparities in adulthood. Her work adds to a growing body of literature exploring the dynamic interplay between young people's social environments, mental health, and physiology, and their implications for health across the lifespan.
