Dr. Lynch directs the Perinatal Database and the Colorado Baby Blanket Research Program in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The aim of the “Baby Blanket” program is to link data (medical, markers from biological samples, ultrasound data, laboratory data) obtained during pregnancy with adverse perinatal outcomes and to provide a resource for investigators across the Anschutz Medical Campus to conduct perinatal research.

Dr. Lynch is an established NIH and American Heart Association investigator on the role of the complement system in adverse pregnancy outcomes.  She is also the site Principal Investigator for the NICHD sponsored Effects of Aspirin in Gestation and Reproduction (EAGeR) project, a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial to study the effects of low dose aspirin on pregnancy loss.  She co-directs the Child Maternal Health Program of the Colorado Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CCTSI).  She is also a coinvestigator on the Maternal Fetal Medicine Units (MFMU) network, and the National Children’s Study and is a faulty member of the Center for Women’s Health Research at the University of Colorado School of Medicine  At a community level she is a co-chair of the Healthy Women Healthy Babies​ organization.
