Dr. Alejandro Lomniczi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology and Biophysics at Dalhousie University. His research primarily focuses on reproductive neuroendocrinology, with an emphasis on pubertal development, the impact of menopause on brain health, and the role of sex steroids in aging and dementia. Dr. Lomniczi investigates how epigenetic regulation affects gene expression and developmental processes, particularly in response to environmental factors such as diet and endocrine disruptors. He aims to unveil the epigenetic landscapes within neurons and glial cells that change in response to external conditions throughout development and aging. His selected publications include insights into the molecular basis of normal and pathological puberty, the metabolic signals influencing growth, and the effects of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on puberty and maternal behavior in female rats. Dr. Lomniczi's work not only contributes to understanding the mechanisms behind puberty but also addresses the developmental origins of health and disease, linking early-life exposures to health outcomes later in life.
