| I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology and mathematics from City College of the City University of New York and my doctoral degree in psychology from the University of California, Berkeley, where I had the good fortune to work on the longitudinal studies conducted at the Institute of Human Development. I then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in behavioral genetics at the University of Minnesota, where I first saw a patient with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and began the studies that have kept me going for 20 years. My first faculty position was at the University of Health Sciences/ Chicago Medical School, as Assistant and then Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. From 1995-2001, I was on the faculty at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, first as Professor of Behavioral and Social Sciences and then as Professor of Physiology. I am currently an editor of the journal, Behavior Genetics, and on the editorial board of the journal Brain and Cognition. I recently served on an NIH study section (RPHB-1) and an Institute of Medicine committee which produced a report entitled "Exploring the biological contributions to human health: Does sex matter?". I currently serve on committees concerned with medical and psychological treatment for children with ambiguous genitalia, including the North American Task Force on Intersexuality. I also serve as a scientific advisor to the CARES Foundation and the MAGIC Foundation, organizations providing information and support to parents and patients. (back) |
