Blaustein chosen president-elect of neuroendocrinology society

Professor Jeffrey Blaustein of the Center for Neuroendocrine Studies, Neuroscience and Behavior Program and the Psychology Department, has been elected president-elect of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN).

SBN is an international society that promotes intellectual exchanges between basic scientists studying interactions between behavior, genes, and neuroendocrine systems. Members study these interactions from the behavioral to the molecular level, in laboratory, field and clinical settings, using a variety of animal models.

Blaustein will hold the president-elect position for two years followed by two years as president, and then two years as past president.

UMass Amherst has been well represented in the society over the years, said Blaustein. “Besides many of our faculty being regular members, Geert de Vries, director of the Center for Neuroendocrine Studies, is finishing his term as past president this year.”
