Ryan D. Wynne

Ryan D. Wynne is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University at Buffalo, within the College of Arts and Sciences. He is based in 229 Cooke Hall, Buffalo, NY, with contact details including a phone number (716-645-0217) and email. His research focuses on hormones and neuroplasticity, particularly in avian species and behavioral contexts. He holds a BA in Chemistry and Biochemistry from East Stroudsburg University, a PhD in Biochemistry from Lehigh University, and completed postdoctoral research at the University of Rochester.

Dr. Wynne teaches courses such as BIO 129 (Perspectives in Human Biology), BIO 130 (Human Heredity), BIO 344 (Neuroethology), BIO 417 (Neurobiology), and BIO 448 (Endocrinology). His publications span topics including zebrafish behavior, songbird neurobiology, and glial cell functions, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches in neuroendocrinology and molecular biology.

His work often intersects behavioral ecology, conservation biology, and molecular techniques (e.g., in situ hybridization). While no specific awards are listed, his contributions to understanding neural injury mechanisms and endocrine-regulated behaviors reflect a focus on both fundamental science and applied ecological questions.
