  • Effects of paracetamol (acetaminophen) on gene expression and permeability properties of the rat placenta and fetal brain, 2020, F1000Research
  • Entry of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance potentiator ivacaftor into the developing brain and lung, 2021, Journal of Cystic Fibrosis
  • Fetal drug exposure after maternally administered CFTR modulators Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor in a rat model, 2024, Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy
  • The Balance between the Safety of Mother, Fetus, and Newborn Undergoing Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Treatments during Pregnancy, 2020, ACS Pharmacology & Translational Science

Habgood regularly collaborates with several researchers, including:

  • Norman R. Saunders
  • Yifan Huang
  • Katarzyna M. Dzięgielewska
  • Fiona Qiu
  • Liam M. Koehn

Their work is frequently published in the following journals and venues:

  • F1000Research
  • Journal of Cystic Fibrosis
  • Fluids and Barriers of the CNS
  • Research Square (Research Square)
