Her research focuses on the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), with particular emphasis on hyperandrogenemia, cardiometabolic dysfunction, hypertension, obesity, insulin resistance, and the role of the renin–angiotensin system (RAS) in women’s health. Her current work investigates the interaction between GLP-1 signaling and the RAS in the development of metabolic and cardiovascular complications associated with PCOS. Dr. Eissa employs both preclinical and clinical approaches to identify mechanisms underlying cardiometabolic disease and to explore novel therapeutic strategies targeting RAS and incretin pathways. She has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications, including several first-author articles, and has presented her work at national and international scientific conferences. Dr. Eissa is the recipient of multiple research and travel awards from leading scientific organizations, including the American Physiological Society, the Endocrine Society, and the American Diabetes Association.
