: Research into the transition from acute to chronic pain, driven by peripheral and central sensitization . This includes studying "maladaptive plasticity" within the trigeminal system, where persistent signals lead to chronic conditions like temporomandibular disorders (TMD) .
: Utilizing advanced techniques like single-cell transcriptomics and in vivo imaging to identify novel molecular targets, including ion channels and metabolic regulators, for more precise therapies. Translational Strategies Translating Mechanisms Orofacial Neurological D...
The goal of this research is to turn laboratory discoveries into better patient care through: Translating Mechanisms of Orofacial Neurological Disorder : Research into the transition from acute to
: A growing focus on how non-neuronal cells—such as satellite glial cells and macrophages in the trigeminal ganglion—regulate neuronal excitability and contribute to neuropathic pain. including ion channels and metabolic regulators
