John M. Thorp's research focuses on maternal and fetal health during pregnancy, including complications like preeclampsia, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and infections such as hepatitis C virus and COVID-19 that occur during pregnancy. Much of the recent work also examines racial and ethnic disparities in pregnancy outcomes (such as cesarean birth and severe maternal illness) and long-term child neurodevelopment following prenatal exposures or interventions. This work is largely conducted through large clinical cohort studies, often as part of multi-site collaborative research networks.
