Glendining joined the University of Otago as a Research Associate in the Department of Anatomy in November 2011 and advanced to Research Fellow in the Department of Physiology in June 2021. Her contributions include key publications such as 'Forebrain AR deletion restores PR expression but not reproduction in prenatally androgenised female mice' (Endocrinology, 2025, co-authored with Lott et al.), 'The androgen clock is an epigenetic predictor of long-term male hormone exposure' (PNAS, 2025, co-authored with Sugrue et al.), 'Maternal Obesity Modulates Expression of Satb2 in Hypothalamic VMN of Female Offspring' (Life, 2020), 'Maternal Obesity in the Mouse Compromises the Blood-Brain Barrier in the Offspring Arcuate Nucleus' (Endocrinology, 2016), and 'Queen pheromone modulates brain dopamine function in worker honey bees' (PNAS, 2007, co-authored with Beggs et al.). With over 1,060 citations on Google Scholar, her work has advanced understanding of hypothalamic development and metabolic influences on reproduction. She supervises doctoral students and presents at conferences including the New Zealand Medical Sciences Congress.
