Education: PhD from the University of Texas Medical Branch (1980), followed by postdoctoral training at Baylor School of Medicine's Department of Neurology.

Research focuses on rapid non-genomic actions of estrogens during aging and reproductive senescence, particularly their roles in neuronal physiology, stroke, cognitive impairment, and inflammation. Techniques include electrophysiology, calcium signaling analysis, and laser confocal microscopy. His work aims to uncover mechanisms underlying age-related neurological changes to inform therapeutic targets.

• Awards: Distinguished Alumnus Award from UTMB (Galveston).

No specific grants or advising details are provided in the text. His research utilizes rodent models of ovarian aging and examines estrogen therapy effects on synaptic function.
