Hi there! My name is Andre B. Toussaint, PhD, and I am a passionate and dedicated professional with a research background in the intersection of pain sensitivity and opioid abuse. Currently, I am engaged in postdoctoral research focused on the genetic underpinnings linking inherent pathological pain sensitivity to opioid abuse using the SJL/J mouse model, which naturally exhibits baseline pain hypersensitivity. My research aims to identify genes, molecules, and neural mechanisms contributing to pathological pain sensitivity and its correlation with opioid abuse. I earned my PhD in Psychology and Neuroscience by investigating the multigenerational epigenetic effects of paternal morphine exposure, producing three manuscripts that explore how environmental factors associated with maladaptive opioid use create enduring cellular memories in the brains of offspring. Key findings included heightened morphine self-administration in male offspring, elevated mu-opioid receptor expression in drug-naïve morphine-sired male progeny, sex-specific impacts, increased sensitivity to morphine's pain-relieving effects, and altered social behaviors in adolescent male morphine-sired rats. In addition to my research, I have extensive teaching and mentoring experience, having facilitated classes for adult learners in the Credentialed Alcohol and Substance Abuse Counseling (CASAC) training program and developed innovative seminars for at-risk adolescents on the adverse effects of drug misuse. I have also collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to create comprehensive treatment plans for adolescents, enhancing my skills in teamwork and project management. I am currently applying for opportunities where I can leverage my passion for science/education, leadership, and community engagement. Let's connect!
