Paul Jeffrey Bonthuis is an Assistant Professor in the Neuroscience Program at the University of Illinois. His research focuses on the genomic imprinting processes that influence behavior through gene expression and hormone signaling interactions in the brain. He studies the epigenetic regulation of hormone signaling in relation to social behaviors, utilizing advances such as CRISPR-mediated knock-in mutagenesis to develop allelic-reporter mice for investigating neuronal responses. His work represents a significant push to understand how these genetic mechanisms can affect mammalian social interactions. Through ongoing studies, Paul aims to identify specific neuron types and circuits that are crucial in regulating complex social behaviors, which may lead to a broader understanding of neurobehavioral disorders. He has received multiple awards for his research and teaching contributions, showcasing his commitment to advancing the field of behavioral neuroendocrinology.
