Independent Position: Department of Psychology, University of Massachusetts Amherst

Luke Remage-Healey was a Post-Doctoral Scholar in Physiological Science at the University of California, Los Angeles. In the laboratory of Barney Schlinger, his research aimed to shed light on how brain-derived steroids contribute to the acute regulation of forebrain circuit function. The ultimate goal of this work is to improve understanding of steroid actions within neural circuits, in order to optimize the future development of steroids as neurotherapeutic agents for neurological disorders. He earned his Ph.D. in Neurobiology and Behavior from Cornell University, and his B.S. in Biology from Tufts University.
