I have 30 years of experience and specialize in the field of neuroendocrinology, with specific knowledge of the effects of stress, human performance and linkages to risk for disease. I have published on such topics as the effects of aging on neuroendocrine systems and linkages to risk for disease, the impact of stress and exercise on disease activity in individuals with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis and the effects of chronic separation stress on the neuroendocrine system in an animal model.
