Luke Remage-Healey, PhD
Brief Bio: I grew up in central Maine playing hockey and dreaming of surfing. I got my start in science as sophomore under the careful tutelage of Professor L. Michael Romero at Tufts University. This was where I became fascinated by hormones and their multitudinous roles in the body and brain. I was then fortunate to join the outstanding graduate program in Neurobiology and Behavior at Cornell University. There, I trained for my PhD with Dr. Andrew Bass exploring the neural mechanisms of vocalization in midshipman fish, and how they are modulated by steroid hormones. I completed my postdoctoral training with the incomparable Dr. Barney Schlinger at the Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology at UCLA., while also realizing the dream of learning how to surf. In the lab, we discovered the fast fluctuations in brain estrogens during social interactions that set the foundation for my independent lab. I was then fortunate to join the faculty at UMass in 2010. Current CV. Research Interests: Steroid hormone production and action in brain circuits; Vocal production and sensorimotor learning; Neuromodulation and electrophysiology of neuronal circuits. | |
