Bio
My name is Zack, and I was initially trained as a behavioral neuroscientist at Bowdoin College. Now, I'm working with Dr. Stephano Chang to highlight the effectiveness of Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) as a treatment for refractory chronic pain. First at the rodent level and then moving towards large animal models, we hope to provide substantial preclinical evidence that DBS can improve pain sensitivity and alleviate pain-related affective changes in chronic pain models.
