Professor Andrews received his PhD from the University of Otago in New Zealand in 2003 and undertook postdoctoral training at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, USA, from 2004 to 2008. He moved to Monash University in Melbourne, Australia in 2009, where he established his own laboratory. Professor Andrews is internationally recognized for his work on neuroendocrine control of energy homeostasis and behavior, currently serving as Deputy Head of the Metabolism, Diabetes and Obesity Program at the Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute. He is also Editor-in-Chief of Endocrinology and serves as president of the Hypothalamic Neuroscience Neuroendocrinology Australasia (HNNA), along with being a council member of the International Neuroendocrine Federation. His research employs animal models and viral genetic techniques to investigate how the brain regulates food intake and associated behaviors, focusing on the interplay of homeostatic, reward, stress, and motivational systems that influence eating desires. The lab specifically studies how the brain promotes the overconsumption of highly palatable and energy-dense foods, contributing to obesity. He is a recognized world-leading expert in this field with an emphasis on the hunger-sensing systems that control food intake and related behaviors linked to reward, motivation, mood, memory, and cognition.
