Areas of Research
- Pain
The Abdi Lab is interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying pain and related neuropathology involved in cancer, with multidisciplinary approaches and tools including immunohistochemistry, protein expression, electrophysiology (patch-clamp recording), mammalian cell culture and animal models.
The laboratory is within the Department of Pain Medicine in the Division of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine.
