SUMMARY:Uncovering epigenetic biomarkers of allostatic load to investigate 
 sex influences
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Jordan Marrocco\, Assistant Professor of Biolog
 y and Neuroscience\, Department of Biology\, Touro University\, New York\,
  NY\, United StatesDr. Marrocco is an Assistant Professor of Biology and P
 sychology at Touro University New York\, and Adjunct Assistant Professor o
 f Research in Neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine. 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 u
 sed\, behavioral\, pharmacological\, and genomic methods to demonstrate th
 e molecular mechanisms of stress-induced allostatic overload and its assoc
 iation with increased risk for psychiatric disorders. Dr. Marrocco receive
 d a bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences and a master’s degree in 
 Neurobiology from Sapienza University of Rome\, and a Ph.D. in Neuroscienc
 e from the University of Lille. During his postdoctoral training\, he work
 ed under the mentorship of the late Dr. Bruce McEwen at The Rockefeller Un
 iversity\, where he developed an independent line of research aimed to inv
 estigate whether sex influence’s differential expression of gene network
 s underlying discrete brain circuits that control affective behavior. Dr. 
 Marrocco is a member of the Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion\, and Educa
 tion committees of several scientific societies\, including the American C
 ollege of Neuropsychopharmacology\, ALBA Network\, and the Organization fo
 r the Study of Sex Differences.Talk summary:Allostatic load is an expressi
 on that often refers to cumulative stress on the body\, which induces phys
 iological and behavioral responses to cope with life’s events. This talk
  will show preclinical evidence demonstrating that distinct types of stres
 sors activate clusters of epigenetic modifiers regulating the expression o
 f a highly conserved genetic core that differs in males and females.Mentor
 ship&nbsp\;opportunity:&nbsp\;Immediately following Dr. Marrocco's present
 ation\, audience&nbsp\;members&nbsp\;will have the&nbsp\;opportunity to he
 ar more about Dr. Marrocco's career. This is an&nbsp\;excellent&nbsp\;oppo
 rtunity for trainees to ask questions and learn more about careers in wome
 n's health.&nbsp\;Agenda:9-9:45 : Speaker presentation9:45-10:00: Question
