Faculty
Greg Dussor
Gregory (Greg) Dussor received his PhD in Pharmacology at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio in 2002. He studied under the mentorship of Drs. Chris Flores and Ken Hargreaves where he worked on the modulation of peripheral nociceptors in the trigeminal system by cholinergic receptors. Following his PhD studies, he did postdoctoral training from 2004-2007 in the laboratory of Dr. Ed McCleskey at the Vollum Institute on the campus of The Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. There, he worked on biophysical properties of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) and also characterized the ion channel expression on a population of sensory neurons that innervate the outer epidermis. In 2007, he joined the Faculty in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Arizona in Tucson. While in Arizona, he shifted the focus of his laboratory to understanding the pathophysiology contributing to chronic headache disorders such as migraine. He remained on faculty there until joining the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences in 2014. Greg was a recipient of a Future Leaders in Pain Research Award from the American Pain Society, he has received funding from the NIH, the American Pain Society, the National Headache Foundation, and the Migraine Research Foundation, he is on the Editorial Board for the journal PAIN, and he regularly serves as a study section member at NIH/CSR.

Ted Price
Theodore (Ted) Price returned to the School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences at UTD as an Associate Professor in 2014. He graduated from UTD in 1998 with a B.S. in Neuroscience where he worked with Dr. Alice O’Toole on human face perception. He then received his PhD in 2003 from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio under the mentorship of Christopher Flores and Kenneth Hargreaves where he worked on cannabinoid pharmacology and pain. He was then a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Fernando Cervero at McGill University until 2007 where he developed the first studies on how local control of protein synthesis in neurons is involved in the development of chronic pain disorders. He was a faculty member of The University of Arizona School of Medicine from 2007-2014 where he further developed work on nervous system plasticity in relation to pain with funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – Rita Allen Foundation – and Migraine Research Foundation. Dr. Price is the recipient of Young Investigator Awards from the American Pain Society and International Association for the Study of Pain, has published more than 70 peer-reviewed articles in international journals, serves as the pharmacology section editor for European Journal of Pain and is on the editorial board for Pain, Molecular Pain and The European Journal of Neuroscience. He is also a regular reviewer for National Institutes of Health and American Pain Society study sections.
