Abstract

Research into endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is reasonably new, but Andrea Gore was lucky enough to be a pioneer in the field: “I discovered a topic that I loved early in my career and there was never any reason to diverge in a significant way”, she says. She had an early love of nature and wildlife, which led her to pursue an undergraduate degree in biology. “I began my research career studying mating behaviours in hamsters”, she explains. And while it might seem that she has changed paths to study EDCs, she still studies neurobiological outcomes. “I'm interested in how hormones affect the developing brain, influence behaviour, and how EDCs may perturb those processes”, she explains.
