Academic career

Wouldes is a developmental scientist, and has researched the effect on infants of methamphetamine and methadone use during pregnancy.[5][6][7] She is part of the IDEAL Study, a collaboration with researchers at Brown University and several other US universities to investigate the effects of P use on infant development, and since 2005 has been the study's director.[8] She has also collaborated with researchers at Victoria University of Wellington and Ngāti Pāhauwera to investigate the treatment of methamphetamine dependence in Māori women.[8]
Wouldes is involved in the Liggins Institute, where she was part of an award-winning team, led by Professor Jane Harding, investigating gestational diabetes and neonatal hypoglycaemia.[9][10][8] Wouldes is also part of an international study to look at resilience in migrant youth.[8]
As of 2024, Wouldes is Associate Dean of Equity for the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, and head of the Department of Psychological Medicine.[8][11]
