Gillian Einstein is a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at the University of Toronto,[1] and cross-appointed with the Dalla Lana School of Public Health.
[9] Einstein's research looks at the relationship between early menopause and decreased estrogen levels, and how this may negatively affect cognition.
[10][11] Further to the differences that gender may play on the human brain, Einstein further posits that the social and cultural context that accompanies being female or male can also have a significant effect on our biology.
She participated in the scientific discussion that led to the US National Institutes of Health to form policies requiring even gender distribution in cell and animal studies.
[4] In 2016, Einstein was awarded the inaugural Wilfred and Joyce Posluns Chair in Women's Brain Health and Aging.
