Hormonal regulation of gene expression defines sex-variable biology
Talk abstract: My lab studies how nuclear hormone receptors modulate gene expression in the brain at single-cell resolution, and how this affects development of and activity within circuits that mediate specific behaviors. We anticipate that the hormone-regulated genes we have identified will contribute to established sex differences in the incidence and etiology of neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Title:
The Lowry Lecture is held annually to honor the many contributions of the late Oliver Lowry to the field of biochemistry and metabolic regulation, as well as to Washington University. Dr. Lowry came to Washington University in 1947 and chaired the Department of Pharmacology from 1947 to 1976. He was Dean of the School of Medicine from 1955-1958. He became an Emeritus Professor in 1979, and served as acting Department Chair from 1989-1990. He remained an active member of the Department through 1994.
