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 drug discovery for major depression and schizophrenia, 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 pharmacology of novel ligands targeting serotonergic G protein-coupled receptors. Currently, he is investigating neural circuits activated by psychedelic drugs, with the long-term goal of using modern techniques in neuroscience to complement drug design efforts toward the development of novel antidepressant and antipsychotic medications.

Samsuk Kim, PhD.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Kim is dual research and clinical T32 fellow working with Drs. Beth Darnall, Sean Mackey, and Heather Poupore-King. Her research is focused on developing and testing innovative digital interventions for chronic pain. Prior to Stanford, she received her doctoral degree in clinical psychology from the University of Detroit Mercy and external research training at the University of Michigan (at the Kratz Lab) with a focus on psychosocial factors (e.g., mindfulness, pain acceptance) for chronic pain. She completed an APA-accredited internship at the VA Boston Healthcare System. Her clinical interest is broadly focused on pain management, health promotion, adjustment-related issues, and emotional regulation. She uses a number of treatment approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based treatments, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and interpersonal psychotherapy approaches.
