Dustin W. DuBois is an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University in the College of Medicine. His recent research interests focus on understanding cellular and molecular mechanisms governing the interaction of a wide array of neuropsychopharmacological agents with their respective receptors. His past research has delved into the neuroteratogenic effects of ethanol on the GABAergic inhibitory neurotransmitter system as well as the chronic effects of ethanol on excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter systems in brain areas regulating anxiety-like behaviors. Moreover, he has explored the effects of anesthetic agents on learning and memory mechanisms within the hippocampal region of the brain. DuBois's lab is particularly interested in understanding the impact of pharmacological and environmental agents such as ethanol, benzodiazepines, pesticides, and chemical pollutants on central nervous system development, acknowledging that these agents can have significant and lasting negative effects leading to severe mental and cognitive defects.
