Dr Girlingā€™s research interests are in uterine biology and womenā€™s health, with a particular focus on common gynaecological disorders including endometriosis, menstrual and pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and uterine fibroids. Her current research is focused on examining the role of genes linked with increased risk of endometriosis and its associated pain symptoms, and nerve fibre phenotype and pain-associated ā€˜omicsā€™ data in endometriotic lesions. Dr Girling also has an interest in the impact of menstrual pain and heavy bleeding on girls and their families and the strategies needed to better support girls and young women to live a full and happy life.
