I am interested in how exposure to endocrine disrupting compounds affects brain development. I examine the mechanisms by which the organization of sexually dimorphic neuroendocrine circuits within the brain can be disrupted by exposure to environmental endocrine disruptors during development. I am particularly interested in understanding how exposure to these compounds ultimately affects female reproductive physiology and behavior.
