Angela K. Odle

Angela K. Odle is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) College of Medicine. Her roles include serving as a Basic Science Advisor in the College of Medicine Academic House Program, a member of the Graduate Council, and Assistant Track Director for the Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences.

Education:

• Ph.D. and Postdoctoral Training at UAMS.

Dr. Odle's research focuses on molecular neuroendocrinology, particularly the neuroendocrine control of the female reproductive axis and the role of Musashi proteins in regulating mRNA translation. Her work explores how leptin modulates GnRHR expression and metabolic functions in mouse models.

Her publications highlight recent advancements in neuroendocrine mechanisms, including Musashi-mediated translational control during the estrous cycle, leptin's influence on GnRHR mRNA binding, and comparative studies on adipocyte versus somatotrope leptin signaling.

Key Roles:

• Basic Science Advisor, Academic House Program
• Member, Graduate Council
• Assistant Track Director, Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program
• Researcher in Neuroendocrinology
