Rate My Professor Elodie Kip

Currently, in the Campbell Lab at the Centre for Neuroendocrinology, Kip explores the interplay between hormones, brain function, and reproduction, with a particular emphasis on polycystic ovary syndrome. Her research interests include neurological disorders, neuroinflammation, neuroendocrinology, and healthy aging. She emphasizes the benefits of healthy lifestyle choices, mindfulness, and stress reduction in mitigating neuroinflammation and preventing neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders. Key publications include Kip and Parr-Brownlie (2023), 'Healthy lifestyles and wellbeing reduce neuroinflammation and prevent neurodegenerative and psychiatric disorders' in Frontiers in Neuroscience; Kip et al. (2022), 'Patterned stimulation of the Chrimson opsin in glutamatergic motor thalamus neurons improves forelimb akinesia in parkinsonian rats' in Neuroscience; and Kip and Parr-Brownlie (2022), 'Reducing neuroinflammation via therapeutic compounds and lifestyle to prevent or delay progression of Parkinson's disease' in Ageing Research Reviews. Earlier works address rabies virus-induced neuroinflammation, such as 'Inhibition of MALT1 Decreases Neuroinflammation and Pathogenicity of Virulent Rabies Virus in Mice' (2018). Kip has also presented on the gut-brain axis in neurological diseases.
