About

Dr. Victoria Geenes is a leading researcher in maternal-fetal medicine, with a primary focus on intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP)—a liver disorder affecting pregnant women. Her landmark 2013 study, "A Comprehensive Analysis of Common Genetic Variation Around Six Candidate Loci for Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Pregnancy," has garnered 124 citations and represents a cornerstone in understanding ICP's genetic underpinnings. In this work, Dr. Geenes systematically examined common genetic variants near six key transporter genes, including ABCB11 and ABCB4, revealing how subtle genetic variations—beyond rare mutations—contribute to ICP susceptibility. Her research has significantly advanced the field by demonstrating that ICP arises from a complex interplay of common polymorphisms rather than single-gene defects alone. Beyond this seminal paper, Dr. Geenes has published extensively on ICP's clinical management, including its association with adverse pregnancy outcomes and the role of bile acids in fetal risk. Her work has directly influenced clinical guidelines for ICP screening and treatment, improving outcomes for mothers and babies worldwide. With a citation impact that underscores her contributions to reproductive genetics, Dr. Geenes continues to shape our understanding of pregnancy-specific liver disease.
