  • LGBTQ Health, Identity, and Policy
  • Hypothalamic control of reproductive hormones
  • Gender Roles and Identity Studies
  • Schizophrenia research and treatment
  • Sex and Gender in Healthcare
  • Functional Brain Connectivity Studies
  • Advanced Neuroimaging Techniques and Applications

Byne has published work in multiple scientific journals, with frequent contributions to:

  • FOCUS The Journal of Lifelong Learning in Psychiatry
  • Neuropsychopharmacology
  • Psychiatry Research Neuroimaging
  • Journal of Psychiatric Research
  • LGBT Health

Notable recent publications include:

  • "Behavioral and neurobiological effects of GnRH agonist treatment in mice-potential implications for puberty suppression in transgender individuals," 2020, Neuropsychopharmacology
  • "Frontotemporal thalamic connectivity in schizophrenia and schizotypal personality disorder," 2022, Psychiatry Research Neuroimaging
  • "Gender Dysphoria in Adults: An Overview and Primer for Psychiatrists," 2020, FOCUS The Journal of Lifelong Learning in Psychiatry
  • "Clinical features and psychiatric comorbidities in military veterans with schizophrenia with or without suicidality," 2021, Journal of Psychiatric Research
  • "Toward Optimizing Mental Health Care for Sexual and Gender Minority Veterans," 2020, FOCUS The Journal of Lifelong Learning in Psychiatry

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Byne include Christoph Anacker, Ezra Sydnor, Alessia Mastrodonato, Ryan Shores, and Heino F. L. Meyer-Bahlburg.

The research conducted by Byne often addresses interdisciplinary intersections, combining aspects of neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and social health related to sexual and gender minority populations. Topics such as hypothalamic regulation, neuroimaging methods, and mental health care optimization for marginalized groups are prominent themes throughout their work.
