The Breen Church Laboratory has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles investigating how the brain perceives stress cues and how stress signals contribute to disrupted endocrine physiology in females. When not in the lab, Kellie can be found serving on advisory boards (NIH, International Neuroendocrine Federation), editorial boards (Endocrinology & Biology of Reproduction), or exploring the gorgeous trails across San Diego.
