Roepke\, Associa te Professor\, Department of Animal Sciences\, Rutgers University\n\nTro y joined the Rutgers University faculty in 2011 after spending six years a t Oregon Health &\; Science University as a postdoctoral fellow in neur oendocrinology of estrogens. Troy earned their bachelor’s degree and mas ter’s degree in marine science/biology from Long Island University – S outhampton College and San Francisco State University\, respectively. Troy then completed their education earning a PhD in Physiology/Reproductive B iology at the University of California\, Davis in 2005 where they studied marine invertebrate reproduction.\n\nTroy’s primary research combines th eir training and expertise gained from UC-Davis and at OHSU by examining t he interactions of gonadal steroids (estrogens)\, diets\, and endocrine di sruptors on the physiological and neurological processes controlled by the hypothalamus\, including reproduction\, energy homeostasis\, stress\, and mood. Troy was the recipient of a K99/R00 Pathways to Independence Award from NIDDK and has been funded by NIEHS to study flame retardants and is c urrently by an R01 from NIMH to study the sex differences in the response to chronic stress in mice and the role of estrogen signaling. Troy has aut hored or co-authored over fifty publications over a wide range of fields i ncluding endocrine disruption\, the hypothalamic control of reproduction\, estrogen signaling\, potassium channel activity in the context of reprodu ction\, energy homeostasis\, the stress response\, and mood.\n\nDuring the decade that Troy has been a Rutgers faculty\, they have been active membe r of several graduate programs\, including currently acting as the Graduat e Program Director for Endocrinology and Animal Biosciences\, and institut es like the New Jersey Institute for Food\, Nutrition\, and Health\, the R utgers Brain Institute\, and the Environmental and Occupational Health Sci ences Institute. Troy was recently promoted to Associate Dean of Diversity \, Equity\, and Inclusion for the School of Environmental and Biological S ciences at Rutgers University.\n\nTroy’s has long been an advocate for s tudents and trainees from marginalized communities especially for students who identify as a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Troy’s lab\, the Pink Lab\, has long been known as a safe and supportive environment for qu eer students. Troy also is active in many scientific societies advocating for inclusive practices for trans and non-binary people in STEM. Troy is c urrently the Vice-President for the Out Toxicologist and Allies Special In terest Group of the Society of Toxicology.\n\nTalk Summary: Troy will be discussing their recent work in collaboration with Drs. Diana Roopchand an d Sara Campbell examining the influence of fatty acid composition in high- fat diets on metabolism\, behavior\, and gut health in two mouse models of menopause.\n\nRegister Here\n\n \; ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://womenshealthresearchcluster.com/wp-conte nt/uploads/2024/11/website_event_photo-3.jpg CATEGORIES:Women’s Health Seminar Series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Vancouver X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Vancouver BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221106T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0700 TZOFFSETTO:-0800 TZNAME:PST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
