Rate My Professor Greg Anderson

Anderson's research specializations centre on neuroendocrinology, elucidating the roles of nutritional cues and neuropeptides like RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3, also known as gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone or GnIH) in modulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. He has led efforts in characterizing the neurobiology of RFRP-3 as a modulator of reproduction in mammals, investigating effects of reproductive experience on central prolactin actions, and examining interactions between metabolism, stress, and fertility. His methodologies include transgenic animal models, single-cell measurement techniques, and visualization of cell signalling in target neurons, with applications to infertility treatments and contraceptive development. Anderson has authored over 45 peer-reviewed publications, garnering more than 5,400 citations and an h-index of 22. Key recent works include Evans et al. (2025) 'RFRP neurons are required for acute stress-induced suppression of the estrogen-stimulated LH surge in female mice' (Endocrinology); Lord et al. (2025) 'A leptin receptor mutation which impairs fertility in ewes causes delayed puberty in male and female mice' (Endocrinology); Sugrue et al. (2025) 'The androgen clock is an epigenetic predictor of long-term male hormone exposure' (PNAS); and Rogers et al. (2025) 'Modelling menstruation in the common mouse: A narrative review' (Reproduction, Fertility & Development).
