Biography

Marie Holt is an Assistant Professor at the University of Warwick, specializing in the study of stress and its physiological effects on the body. Dr. Holt's research focuses on the brain mechanisms that control the body's response to stress, particularly the role of specific brain pathways in conditions like cardiovascular disease and eating disorders. Utilizing transgenic mouse models, her work investigates how these pathways influence behaviors related to stress, and how chronic stress can lead to maladaptive responses that impact health. She employs a range of state-of-the-art neuroscience tools and techniques, such as cellular imaging, pharmacology, and behavioral monitoring, to explore the connections between stress and various physiological systems. Her research represents a significant contribution to understanding the complexities of stress-related disorders and aims to uncover potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.
