Catherine Woolley, Ph.D Faculty Director

Dr. Woolley is a Professor in the Neurobiology and Physiology Department at Northwestern University.
She has served as faculty director of BIF since 2001.

Dr. Woolley's lab explores the roles of ovarian steroid hormones such as estrogen and progesterone in neural plasticity — or the capacity for change in the structure and function of brain circuitry. Their work forcuses primarily on the hippocampus, a part of the cerebral cortex that is normally involved in learning and memory and that can be a focus of seizure activity under abnormal conditions. Her lab uses a variety of brain imaging and electrophysiological recording techniques to understand the functional consequences of hormone-induced structural changes.
