Dr. McCarthy is the James and Carolyn Frenkil Dean's Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and the Director of UM-MIND. Her seminal research focuses on the influence of steroid hormones on the developing brain with a special emphasis on understanding the cellular mechanisms that establish sex differences—that is, the numerous, novel mechanisms (including roles for prostaglandins, endocannabinoids, immune cells, amino acid transmitters, and multiple enzymes) by which steroids permanently organize the developing brain differently in males and females.
