    Biography

    Research Interests:

    Neuroendocrine control of reproduction

    Our lab investigates the neuronal pathways that control reproductive endocrine function using animal models. In particular, we investigate the mechanisms by which distinct cell populations in the hypothalamus control pulsatile and surge secretion of gonadotropin releasing hormone. 

    Education

    Ph.D. Neuroscience University of Michigan
    Postdoctoral Fellow Columbia University

    Research Methods

    Neuroanatomy, Confocal Microscopy, Light Sheet Microscopy, Molecular Neurobiology, In situ Hybridization, Immunohistochemistry
