Dr. Gillian Brown conducts research on sex differences in behaviour from neuroendocrine, developmental and evolutionary perspectives. In particular, her research investigates the effects of hormones during infancy and puberty on the development of sex differences in behaviour in rodents and primates. She is also interested in parental behaviour, sex-biased parental investment, adaptive birth sex ratio biasing, mating strategies and the evolution of behaviour.
Dr. Brown has recently been awarded a Wellcome Trust Research Career Development Fellowship (2006-2010). She has also co-authored a book on evolutionary approaches to the study of human behaviour, Sense and Nonsense: Evolutionary Perspectives on Human Behaviour (O.U.P. 2002). |
