She has a strong research interest in the Neuroendocrine Regulation of Cardiometabolic Health in Humans and in Primary Aldosteronism. Her PhD (2014-2018, UQ) investigated the role of adrenal neuroendocrine system in the regulation of human brown adipose tissue and energy metabolism under the primary supervision of Professor Ken Ho. Moe then joined the Endocrine Hypertension Unit of Professor Michael Stowasser, pursuing further research in Cardiovascular Endocrinology, in particular, elucidating the regulatory role of the mineralocorticoid system in cardiometabolic health, and optimal diagnostic and management strategies for primary aldosteronism. Her research has informed a number of practice guidelines including the Endocrine Society Guideline on Lipids Management, the Endocrine Society Guideline on Primary Aldosteronism, the Endocrine Society of Australia Guideline on Endocrine Dynamic Testing, Queensland Statewide Protocol on Management of Diabetes Ketoacidosis. She has received numerous awards for her work including the Endocrine Society’s Presidential Awards for Excellence in Cardiovascular Endocrinology Research and in Adipocyte Biology Research, Early Career Researcher Award from the Australian & New Zealand Obesity Society, Australasian Women in Endocrinology Young Investigator Award.
