Gabrielle "Gabby" Gilmer is interested in the crossover between women's health and orthopaedic surgery. More specifically, her research looks at how sex and gender, and features specific to female bodies like menopause, impact orthopaedic pathology and outcomes. Her work spans from basic science in preclinical model to human clinical trials, with her dissertation utilizing a menopause model in mice to understand the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis
