She has spent the most recent years of her career with the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research. In her position, as an assistant scientist, she supervises a staff of seven and tests, reports and presents her research.

Since 1941, the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research has made major medical contributions to the scientific community for the advancement of health. These achievements have sprung from the study of cardiovascular and infectious disease, cancer, fetal growth and development, hormones and behavioral medicine. Scientists also continue to research emerging threats, such as dengue, SARS and avian flu; possible bioterrorism agents, including anthrax and Ebola; and the role of genetics in human diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, epilepsy, mental illness and preeclampsia.
