Annaliese Beery, PhD

 

 

 

 

Annaliese Beery is a Robert Wood Johnson Health and Society Scholar at the University of California San Francisco and Berkeley sites. 

Dr. Beery's research focuses on the mechanisms by which experience gets "under the skin", with a focus on the means by which short-term experiences can have long-term effects on health and physiology.  Her current projects examine epigenetic processes (such as DNA methylation) that may underlie biological encoding of early life experience, using rats as a model.

Dr. Beery received her PhD in Neuroscience from UC Berkeley in 2008.  Her dissertation examined biological mechanisms underlying the formation of social bonds, particularly non-sexual social bonds between peers. Her research (in > 10 rodent species) focused on hormones and neuropeptides that co-vary with social behavior in response to environmental modulation.  She received her Bachelor's degree from Williams College in 1997 and spent the years before graduate school teaching high school and working as a software engineer.
