Anne Konkle

Anne Konkle is an Associate Professor in the Interdisciplinary School of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa since 2009. Her research focuses on sex differences in behavior, brain development, and disease, particularly examining steroid hormones' roles in neurodevelopment and environmental influences like neurotoxicants and maternal infection. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology (2003) and dual undergraduate degrees in Psychology (1997) and Biology (1993), all from the University of Ottawa.

Her academic background includes postdoctoral training at the University of Maryland, Baltimore, and Université de Liège, Belgium, where she studied steroidogenesis and neurogenesis. She also served as a Visiting Scientist at Health Canada, investigating environmental contaminants' neurobehavioral effects. Her lab explores hormonal regulation of brain plasticity across lifespans and environmental exposure impacts on developing brains.
