Widener's Accomplished Faculty Mark Achievements
Widener University congratulates members of its faculty who have been awarded promotions or tenure effective fall 2019.
My teaching interests include neurobiology and hormones and behavior, as well as brain and behavior relationships and how hormones regulate those relationships. Every semester, students work with me on various research projects. They present their work at local, national, and international conferences.
I am active in such professional societies as Society for Neuroscience, Lehigh Valley Society for Neuroscience, Society for Behavioral Endocrinology, and STEM-UP PA (Women in Science and Technology, Engineering and Math Mentoring Program).
My research focuses on the neurobiology of social behavior and how hormones play a role in regulating those behaviors. Together with Widener undergraduate biology majors, I work on projects ranging from brain and behavior studies in songbirds, stress physiology in fish, to testing gene therapy treatments for nervous system disorders in rodents. All of my projects are conducted at Widener, some of which are done in collaboration with researchers at larger institutions.
