Join us to hear from Professor Bronwyn Graham about:

Accounting for sex and gender in health and medical research: why does it matter and where do I begin?

Time: 3-4pm AEDT
Date: Thursday, 3 April 2025
Presenter: Professor Bronwyn Graham

 

Bronwyn Graham is the Director of the Centre for Sex and Gender Equity in Health and Medicine at the George Institute for Global Health, and a Professor in the School of Psychology at UNSW Sydney. Bronwyn is a behavioural neuroscientist, a clinical psychologist, and a globally recognised expert in women’s mental health. Bronwyn leads an interdisciplinary research team that examines how female-unique factors, like fluctuating sex hormones over the menstrual cycle and pregnancy, impact the development of anxiety and other affective disorders.

Employing a bench-to-bedside translational methodology, Professor Graham investigates endocrine regulation of the brain and behaviour in preclinical studies, and then tests the application of these findings in clinical populations. Her work has led to new practice guidelines for treating anxiety disorders in women, and RACGP accredited training programs for mental health care professionals.

Professor Graham has held numerous fellowships, including an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Research Award, a UK-based MQ Fellowship, and an American Australian Association Neurological Fellowship. She is Chief Investigator on multiple Australian Research Council Discovery Projects, an NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence, and a Wellcome Trust Mental Health Award, has published over 75 peer-reviewed articles and chapters, and has supervised over 40 honours and postgraduate students.
