RESEARCH INTERESTS:
I am interested in how hormones and neural circuits stimulate or inhibit gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, thereby regulating the neuroendocrine reproductive axis. I focus on the regulation of fertility in adulthood as well as control of the reproductive axis in development, including puberty and critical periods of sexual differentiation.
