Anne Konkle, PhD

Anne TM Konkle is an Assistant Professor in the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences since 2009. 

​

Dr. Konkle is the principal investigator of the B.E.S.S.T (Brain, Endocrine, Sex, Stress, Toxicology) Lab. Her research interests include sex differences in behaviour, brain development, and disease.

 

Her lab's focus is on:

  • neurodevelopment

  • the role of steroid hormones in sex specific development of brain areas,

  • the role that these steroids might play in sex specific development and;

  • their potential for early life neuroprotection.

  • effects of environmental exposures (e.g. stress, neurotoxicants, maternal infection) on these steroidogenic systems in the developing brain. 

  • potential role of steroid hormones in brain plasticity and consequent behaviour throughout the lifespan
