Andrea C. Gore, PhD
Dr. Andrea Gore is a Professor at the University of Texas Austin/Div of Pharmacology/Toxicology. Dr. Gore received a BA in Biology from Princeton University and a PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. She did her postdoctoral training, first as an NRSA Fellow and then as a Revson Foundation Fellow, in the laboratory of Dr. James L. Roberts at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
Dr. Gore’s Brookdale proposal focused on characterizing neuroendocrine changes in aging rats and rhesus monkeys as a model for menopause in women. Her studies measured changes in levels and gene expression of several neurotransmitters in aging brains, and the impact of the ovarian steroid hormone estrogen on these alterations in the central nervous system. Experiments were performed at molecular, anatomical and physiological levels in order to put together a comprehensive picture of the aging neuroendocrine axis.
