Overview

Kendal Broadie is affiliated with Vanderbilt University in the United States and has a research focus spanning biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and neuroscience. Their work encompasses multiple subfields including molecular biology, cellular and molecular neuroscience, genetics, cell biology, and the endocrine and autonomic systems.

The scientist's research topics broadly cover neurobiology and insect physiology research, genetics and neurodevelopmental disorders, cellular transport and secretion, circadian rhythm and melatonin, olfactory and sensory function studies, congenital heart defects research, and protein tyrosine phosphatases.

They have contributed to a range of publications, with frequent appearances in journals such as Scientific Reports, Journal of Neuroscience, Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, Cellular Signalling, and Journal of Cell Science.

Recent papers include:

  • Experience-dependent glial pruning of synaptic glomeruli during the critical period (2024, Scientific Reports)
  • Neuronal fragile X mental retardation protein activates glial insulin receptor mediated PDF-Tri neuron developmental clearance (2021, Nature Communications)
  • Neuron-Specific FMRP Roles in Experience-Dependent Remodeling of Olfactory Brain Innervation during an Early-Life Critical Period (2021, Journal of Neuroscience)
  • Neonicotinoids disrupt circadian rhythms and sleep in honey bees (2020, Scientific Reports)
  • Genetic background mutations drive neural circuit hyperconnectivity in a fragile X syndrome model (2020, BMC Biology)

Kendal Broadie frequently collaborates with several researchers, including Shannon Leahy, Nichalas Nelson, Dominic J. Vita, James C. Sears, and Chunzhu Song, each with multiple joint publications.

The scientist was recognized as a Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 1996.
