Dr. Moore is an Assistant Professor at Kent State University in Ohio. Her research focuses on understanding central circuits that regulate gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons, the final output cells in a large central network controlling fertility. Recently, her research has focused on the regulation of GnRH neurons by a population of cells that co-express the neuropeptides Kisspeptin, Neurokinin B, and Dynorphin (KNDy neurons) and how disruptions to these cells contribute to the development of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), the most common cause of infertility in women worldwide.
