Austen Brooks Casey
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioAusten Brooks Casey, PhD, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (advisor: Boris Dov Heifets, MD, PhD). He originates from western North Carolina, and has had a long-standing interest in psychiatric drug discovery, which was invigorated by initial coursework in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Austen trained at Northeastern University (advisor: Raymond G. Booth, PhD) where he studied the medicinal chemistry and molecular pharmacology of novel ligands targeting serotonergic G protein-coupled receptors. As a postdoc, he is investigating the the precise cell-type(s) and circuitry engaged by MDMA that evoke social approach and fear extinction retention in mice. His long-term goal is to perform circuit-based drug discovery targeting neural circuits underlying the symptoms and treatment of psychiatric disorders.
