My background is in neuroendocrinology and my research focuses on the effects of sex hormone signaling on healthy brain aging. A major research topic of mine is how aberrant sex hormone signaling during endocrine sensitive life stages can modulate risk of depressive and neurodegenerative conditions. To this end, I am part of a network of specialists that employ multidisciplinary approaches, combining human epidemiological data with innovative experimental modeling and large-scale data integration to spearhead this research area.
