Chronic Pain Network

Co-Applicant

Dr. Steve Prescott obtained his MD and PhD from McGill University in 2005. His doctoral research focused on the investigation of pain processing using electrophysiology, pharmacology, and cellular imaging. 

After completing postdoctoral training in computational neuroscience at the Salk Institute, he established his own lab at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008 before moving to SickKids in 2012. 

His lab combines a broad range of techniques to study how sensory information is processed by the nervous system and how disruption of that processing gives rise to neuropathic pain.
