Catherine S. Woolley

Catherine S. Woolley (lahir 30 Juli 1965) merupakan neuroendokrinolog asal Amerika Serikat. Woolley menjabat sebagai William Deering Chair in Biological Sciences di Departemen Neurobiologi, Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, Northwestern University.[1][2] Ia juga anggota Women's Health Research Institute di Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University.[3]

Woolley meneliti ilmu saraf seluler dan molekuler terkait otak dan perilaku, terutama neuroendokrinologi serta plastisitas sirkuit saraf. Ia fokus mengkaji mekanisme molekuler estrogen dan pengaruhnya terhadap struktur serta fungsi sinaps di otak dewasa, termasuk dampaknya pada perilaku. Woolley dikenal sebagai otoritas utama dalam studi plastisitas saraf dewasa.[4] Penelitian awalnya menunjukkan estrogen dapat mengubah struktur sel di hippocampus tikus.[5] Ia juga membuktikan adanya perbedaan mekanisme saraf antara otak jantan dan betina pada tikus.[6] Risetnya penting bagi pengembangan obat,[7] kesehatan perempuan, serta studi epilepsi,[8][9] kecemasan, dan depresi.[10]

Kehidupan awal

Catherine S. Woolley lahir pada 30 Juli 1965 di Nelsonville, Ohio. Ia lulus dari Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, dengan gelar B.Sc. kehormatan di bidang zoologi dan meraih penghargaan atas tesis kehormatan terbaik tingkat sarjana dari universitas.

Karier

Woolley menempuh pendidikan doktoral di Rockefeller University bersama Bruce McEwen dan memperoleh gelar Ph.D. pada 1993. Ia melanjutkan postdoktoral di University of Washington bersama Philip Schwartzkroin di Departemen Bedah Neurologi.

Pada 1998, Woolley mulai mengajar sebagai asisten profesor di Northwestern University, Evanston. Tahun 2013, ia diangkat sebagai William Deering Chair in Biological Sciences di Departemen Neurobiologi, Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences, Northwestern University. Ia mendirikan program sarjana Neuroscience di universitas tersebut dan pada 2018 dianugerahi gelar Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence oleh Northwestern atas kontribusinya dalam mengubah pendidikan sarjana di Weinberg.[11]

Woolley terpilih menjadi anggota Council of the Society for Neuroscience periode 2014–2018.[12] Ia juga menjabat sebagai editor senior The Journal of Neuroscience.[13]
