Understanding Hypothalamic Pathways Linking Leptin Action and Reproductive Functions

Join Dr. Carol Elias, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, for a presentation on the critical pathways in the hypothalamus that connect leptin action to reproductive functions. This session will explore the intricate systems neuroscience and neuroendocrinology involved in the regulation of metabolism and reproduction. Dr. Elias has extensive experience in the field, having trained at Harvard and established her independent research in Brazil before returning to the U.S. Don’t miss the insights from her research on these vital connections.

  1. “Hypothalamic Pathways Linking Leptin Action and Reproduction” By CAROL ELIAS, PH.D. Associate Professor, University of Michigan THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2014 - NOON HSC – ROOM 3067 – 3RD FLOOR NORTH For more information: Contact Lynn Feather via e-mail: rlfeather@hsc.wvu.edu PHYSIOLOGY & PHARMACOLOGY PRESENTS Dr. Elias received her postdoctoral training at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center/Harvard Medical School, Boston-MA in Dr. Clifford Saper and Dr. Joel Elmquist laboratories. Following her postdoctoral training, she returned to Brazil to establish her own independent laboratory, in the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Sao Paulo, where she worked for about 10 years. She was promoted to the position of Associate Professor in 2004. In 2006, she came back to USA (UTSW, Dallas - TX) for 1-year sabbatical and was invited to join the faculty at the Division of Hypothalamic Research. In 2008, she was appointed Assistant Professor at UTSW, Department of Internal Medicine, in the Division of Hypothalamic Research and promoted to Associate Professor in 2012. In November of 2012, she was appointed Associate Professor in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan. Her main research interest is Systems Neuroscience and Neuroendocrinology, particularly the brain pathways linking metabolism and reproduction.
