Lab Members Recognized at the 2026 Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology Annual Meeting
Congratulations to our lab members for their outstanding contributions at the 30th Annual Meeting of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology (SBN), held in Niagara Falls, New York, July 8–11, 2026. The annual meeting brings together researchers from around the world to share advances in behavioral neuroendocrinology.
Erin O’Leary, a Neuroscience Graduate Student, received the Best Graduate Abstract and Poster Award for her poster, “Biased Allelic Expression of Monoamine Synthesis Genes Influences Maternal Care in a Parent-of-Origin-Dependent Manner.” This award recognizes the outstanding quality of Erin’s research.
Rachel Bender also presented her research at the meeting with a poster titled “Uncovering the Cellular Composition of Tyrosine Hydroxylase’s Hypothalamic Maternal Allele Bias.” Her work highlights ongoing efforts
We congratulate Erin on this well-deserved recognition and Rachel on a successful inaugural showing at the meeting. We are proud to see the Bonthuis Lab research selected at this international science meeting validating the exceptional quality and impact of our research.
