Amanda Kentner, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences (MCPHS), located in the Longwood Medical and Academic Area of Boston, Massachusetts. In this role, she directs a behavioral neuroscience focused laboratory examining how exposure to infection during early development imparts long-term disruptions in social and cognitive functioning. Her laboratory is also interested in factors that offer protective or rehabilitative potential, for example environmental enrichment, maternal care, and pharmacological agents.

Dr. Kentner has sat on multiple National Science Foundation panels and is a Social Media Curator for the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology. She is also an elected Council Member of NeuroBoston, the local Society for Neuroscience Boston Chapter.

Dr. Kentner has received multiple MCPHS Excellence in Research Mentorship awards and was honored with the inaugural MCPHS Gail P. and Edward A. Bucher Trustees’ Award for Excellence in Student-Faculty Research Collaboration in 2018. Her laboratory is supported by an R15 AREA grant from the National Institute of Mental Health
