. @jordanmarrocco is a molecular neuroendocrinologist @RockefellerUniv where he studies epigenomic signatures of stress. He was the first to demonstrate that stress induces a sex-specific translatome in CA3 pyramidal neurons. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-01014-4">https://www.nature.com/articles/...
. @patosilveyra leads the @silveyralab where she studies sex differences in lung disease and how physiological fluctuations in sex hormone levels can influence lung health. She published the first book ever to describe sex differences in lung physiology: https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783030635480">https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9...
. @tweetnicolepete is a neuroscientist @UCLA studying how ovarian hormones affect brain structure and function. Her recent paper showed how oral contraceptives change cortical structure. Get in touch if youâre interested in joining her lab! https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đ" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen"> https://www.nature.com/articles/s41380-020-00990-2">https://www.nature.com/articles/...
. @DrLJBrady is a postdoctoral researcher at Vanderbilt in @thecalipariLab studying sex differences in cholinergic regulation of dopamine release underlying motivated behavior https://twitter.com/TheCalipariLab/status/1338524014025859076?s=20">https://twitter.com/TheCalipa...
. @yeseniatweets is a neuroscience PhD student at Emory working with @birdbrainlab to investigate how sex differences are reported in the biological sciences and which statistical approaches are used. Check out the labâs website to learn more! https://www.birdbrainlab.org/science-of-sex-differences">https://www.birdbrainlab.org/science-o...
. @Zuloaga_Lab is uncovering how sex and #aging influence metabolic & vascular contributions to dementia. Recently, grad student @salinero_abby found that high-fat diet causes greater metabolic and cognitive impairment in middle-aged females vs. males. http://doi.org/10.1096/fj.202000085R">https://doi.org/10.1096/f...
. @avwllms is a recent grad of @UCDavisPsych with @trainorlab & just starting a postdoc with @Bangasser_Lab! She& #39;s interested in how prolonged stressful experiences in social environments translate into maladaptive social and reward-seeking behaviors. http://nature.com/articles/s41386-020-0657-4">https://nature.com/articles/...
. @MaTeFerretti is a neuroscientist and co-founder of @womensbrainpro. Learn more about her and watch her TEDxTalk on precision medicine in Alzheimerâs disease here: http://www.womensbrainproject.com/team/mariateresa-ferretti-phd/">https://www.womensbrainproject.com/team/mari...
. @mhyer787 is a postdoc fellow in neuroscience with @GretchenNeigh. Her recent paper shows that female rats with a history of adolescent stress are at higher risk for impaired cognitive flexibility, possibly driven by changes in glutamatergic signaling. http://doi.org/10.1016/j.ynstr.2021.100303">https://doi.org/10.1016/j...
. @hhunsber is a postDoc at @Columbia studying Alzheimer& #39;s disease. In this video with @MelNuesch, she talks about sex differences in AD, its link with anxiety and how this has predictive potential. https://youtu.be/UhxZlc8JW1g ">https://youtu.be/UhxZlc8JW...
. @Sam_C_Woodburn is a PhD student with @WohlebLab interested in sex-specific effects of stress on microglial phagocytosis and growth factor signaling. Check out his recent paper on temporal and sex-specific effects of chronic stress: http://doi.org/10.1016/j.ynstr.2021.100312">https://doi.org/10.1016/j...
. @emilyjacobs is an Assoc Prof of Psych & Brain Sciences @ucsantabarbara. Her lab is revealing sex hormonesâ powerful influence on the architecture of the human brain. Check out this thread on her research from last year - https://twitter.com/DrJenniStevens/status/1286299420552765440?s=20">https://twitter.com/DrJenniSt...
. @ChantalRytz is a PhD student @UCalgaryMed studying the cardiovascular effects of gender-affirming estrogen therapy (GAET) in transgender women. Her goal is to improve the understanding of the use of GAET to create safe hormone therapy guidelines. https://youtu.be/_bMxbDoh_2c ">https://youtu.be/_bMxbDoh_...
. @meradfor is an Assistant Professor at @UNC_SOM. She studies the effects of inhaled toxicants on respiratory immune health. Her recent paper identified dysregulated immune responses to influenza infection in e-cigarette users. https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.1165/rcmb.2020-0164OC">https://www.atsjournals.org/doi/10.11...
. @LisaRobison86 studies sex differences in the effects of lifestyle factors, like diet & exercise, on neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. Her recent paper reported sexually dimorphic metabolic outcomes in a mouse model of Alzheimerâs disease https://doi.org/10.1186/s12974-020-01956-5">https://doi.org/10.1186/s...
. @corriveaunick is a neuropsychologist and a research fellow at Mayo Clinic. Part of his research focuses on sex differences in functional brain networks in aging and dementia.
. @RCBagot and @Bagotlab @McGillU study how stress shapes the brains of male and female mice to understand neural circuit mechanisms in depression https://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223(20)31627-9/fulltext">https://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S...
. @LiannaWat is a PhD candidate @ubclifesciences studying the metabolic pathways that regulate sex diffs in fat metabolism. She identified a novel role for the triglyceride lipase, brummer, in neurons where it sex-specifically regulates fat metabolism. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.3000595">https://doi.org/10.1371/j...
. @JWMillington is a PhD candidate @ubclifesciences. He found that the sex-biased regulation of insulin signaling during development controls the sex difference in nutrient-dependent body size plasticity. http://lsi.ubc.ca/2021/01/20/rideout-lab-discovers-the-molecular-mechanism-behind-food-related-body-size-changes-in-females/">https://lsi.ubc.ca/2021/01/2...
. @TravisEHodges studies the sex-specific neurobiology underlying stress-induced negative cognitive bias across the lifespan. In a recent review, he joins @LiisaGalea & @WQiuPhoenix to discuss the heterogeneity of perinatal depression in rodent models. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yfrne.2020.100854">https://doi.org/10.1016/j...
Travis also wants to promote the Women& #39;s Health Research Cluster ( @ResearchonWH) as a hub for #SABV seminars & blogs, as well as their trainee presentation series that welcomes trainees to present their research. https://womenshealthresearch.ubc.ca/home ">https://womenshealthresearch.ubc.ca/home"...
