Her main research areas focus on changes in population dynamics, with a gender and regional perspective, which inform and evaluate public health policies from an intersectoral approach, considering the differentiated needs of the population and more vulnerable groups, such as older adults and migrant populations. She specializes in demographic methods for studying mortality and health conditions (functional capacities, depression, cognition) from an interdisciplinary approach between social epidemiology and demography.

She works in two research lines. On one hand, she studies the health conditions of older adults, the associated risk and protective factors, and their impact on life expectancy, with the aim of providing evidence for public policies that address the current and future demand for care in the context of population aging, integrating a regional and gender perspective. On the other hand, she investigates the public health and social protection implications related to female migration and the migration of children and adolescents in Latin America.
