Expertise
Dr. Coderre is a Harold Griffith Professor in Anesthesia Research at 91社区. He is the director of pain research laboratories in the Anesthesia Research Unit and at the MUHC Research Institute, and a member of the 91社区 Centre for Research on Pain. He received a PhD. in Psychology (Behavioural Neuroscience) from 91社区 in 1985, and then received postdoctoral training in Anatomy and Medicine (Neuroscience) at University College London and University of California San Francisco, respectively. He spent 10 years as director of the Pain Mechanisms laboratory at the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montr茅al, before moving to 91社区 in 2000. Dr. Coderre is on the editorial boards of Journal of Neuropathic Pain & Symptom palliation, and Pain Research & Management. He is a former member of the executive (treasurer) of the Canadian Pain Society. Dr. Coderre has been awarded the Early Career Investigator Award from the Canadian Pain Society and the Patrick D. Wall Young Investigator Award from the International Association for the Study of Pain.
Research Interests
Dr. Coderre鈥檚 main research interest is the pharmacological, neurochemical and anatomical characterization of mechanisms underlying neuroplasticity in the spinal cord dorsal horn and brain, and its influence on pain perception. Techniques used in our labs, and through interactions with our collaborators, include behavioural nociceptive testing, neuropharmacology, in vivo microdialysis, light and electron microscopic immunocytochemistry, autoradiography and image analysis. The purpose of these investigations is to provide integrated anatomical, neurochemical and physiological information on how excitatory amino acids, neuropeptides and growth factors interact with their receptors and intracellular messengers to induce states of noxious stimulus-induced plasticity in the central nervous system that lead to behavioural hyperalgesia or enhanced pain perception. The above information is important for our understanding of the mechanisms underlying persistent or chronic pain and, potentially, for the treatment of pain. A current focus is on changes in the internalization and trafficking of metabotropic glutamate receptors following persistent nociception, and their influence on the regulation of the release of excitatory amino acids in spinal cord dorsal horn, as well as hyperalgesia. He is also involved in studies on aimed at identifying specific mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) using anatomical, behavioural, and neurochemical studies in animal models and near infrared spectroscopy in CRPS patients.
