Holly Ingraham Steenbock Lecture

Holly Ingraham is a prominent American neuroscientist and professor known for her significant contributions to the field of neuroendocrinology. She is currently a faculty member at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where she conducts research on the molecular mechanisms underlying hormone action in the brain.

Early Life and Education[edit | edit source]

Holly Ingraham was born in city, state. She completed her undergraduate studies in biology at university. She then pursued her Ph.D. in neuroscience at university, where she focused on the role of steroid hormones in brain development.

Career[edit | edit source]

After completing her Ph.D., Ingraham joined the laboratory of scientist at institution as a postdoctoral researcher. During this time, she made significant discoveries related to the estrogen receptor and its role in the brain.

Ingraham later joined the faculty at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where she established her own research laboratory. Her work has been instrumental in understanding how hormones influence neural circuits and behavior.

Research[edit | edit source]
