Andrew Gaudet is an Associate Professor in the Department of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas at Austin. He completed his Ph.D. at the University of British Columbia, where he studied peripheral nerve degeneration and repair. His postdoctoral research at Ohio State focused on cellular dynamics and functional outcomes following spinal cord injury (SCI), specifically examining neuroinflammation and locomotor recovery. Further work at the University of Colorado Boulder explored the role of biological clocks in neuropathology. His research laboratory investigates the links between molecular, cellular, and behavioral changes associated with neuropathology. Key areas of interest include the effects of neuroinflammation on SCI, axon plasticity and regeneration, and the development of new models to understand anxiety and pain-related behavioral preferences. Gaudet actively teaches courses related to biopsychology and behavior, with a focus on neuroinflammation and biological clocks.
