His research focuses on the epigenomic signatures of stress and steroid hormones at different developmental periods in preclinical models . Over the last 15 years\, he used\, behavioral\, pharmacological\, and ge nomic methods to demonstrate the molecular mechanisms of stress-induced al lostatic overload and its association with increased risk for psychiatric disorders. Dr. Marrocco received a bachelor’s degree in Biological Scien ces and a master’s degree in Neurobiology from Sapienza University of Ro me\, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Lille. During his postdoctoral training\, he worked under the mentorship of the late Dr. Bru ce McEwen at The Rockefeller University\, where he developed an independen t line of research aimed to investigate whether sex influence’s differen tial expression of gene networks underlying discrete brain circuits that c ontrol affective behavior. Dr. Marrocco is a member of the Diversity\, Equ ity\, and Inclusion\, and Education committees of several scientific socie ties\, including the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology\, ALBA Ne twork\, and the Organization for the Study of Sex Differences.\n\nTalk sum mary:\n\nAllostatic load is an expression that often refers to cumulative stress on the body\, which induces physiological and behavioral responses to cope with life’s events. This talk will show preclinical evidence dem onstrating that distinct types of stressors activate clusters of epigeneti c modifiers regulating the expression of a highly conserved genetic core t hat differs in males and females.\n\nAgenda:\n\n9-9:45 am PST: Speaker pre sentation\n\n9:45-10:00 am PST: Question and answer period ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://womenshealthresearchcluster.com/wp-conte nt/uploads/2024/11/Nov%20Banner_0.jpg CATEGORIES:Women’s Health Seminar Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
