Following my Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University, I conducted post-doctoral research in molecular endocrinology at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL (USA). My first independent position was as a Staff Scientist (Assistant Professor) at the Population Council’s Center for Biomedical Research at The Rockefeller University. I then moved my lab to McGill in April 2006. In addition to being a Full Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics at McGill, I am an associate member in the Departments of Physiology, Anatomy and Cell Biology, and Obstetrics and Gynecology, and am a member of the Integrated Program in Neuroscience.
In addition to running an active research program, I am committed to teaching and service. At McGill, I teach in Block B of Fundamentals of Medicine and Dentistry, Physiology 524: Chronobiology, Anatomy 322: Neuroendocrinology, Pharmacology 200/201: Introduction to Pharmacology 1/2; Pharmacology 508: Drug Discovery and Development 3, and coordinate Pharmacology 563: Endocrine Pharmacology. I have been the director of Section 1 of the Frontiers in Reproduction course at the Marine Biology Laboratory in Woods Hole, MA (USA) since 2014.
I have been the director of the McGill Centre for Research in Reproduction and Development since 2014. I serve on the Science Policy and Trainee and Career Development Committees at the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB); was co-Chair of the Publications Committee of the Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) and now serve on the SSR Awards Committee; I was co-Chair of the Research Affairs Core Committee of the Endocrine Society and now sit on its Council (Board of Directors). I served on the Editorial Boards of Biology of Reproduction, Endocrinology, Molecular Endocrinology, and Journal of Molecular Endocrinology, and currently serve on Endocrinology and the newly established Journal of the Endocrine Society. I was on the Endocrinology Review Committee of the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) and currently serve as an ad hoc member of the Integrative and Clinical Endocrinology and Reproduction (ICER) Study Section of the National Institutes of Health (USA).
