RESEARCH INTERESTS

1. Medical Philosophy and Bioethics. Of interest are the philosophical bases of the disease-illness
continuum of chronic pain, the neuroethics of suffering and the phenomenal ‘self’ as contextual to pain
medicine and psychiatry, and the development of ethical frameworks for neurological research and
practice.
2. Basic and clinical parameters of neural responses to pain. These studies are examining
central and peripheral neural and endocrine mechanisms operative in reaction to pain and stress. These
investigations are aimed at understanding the interactive role of the neurochemical, hormonal and
metabolic systems affecting diverse responses (e.g.- analgesia, “placebo” effects, states of
consciousness) in order to develop enhanced methods of translational research and improve
interdisciplinary clinical interventions.
3. Role of the serotonin (5-HT3) receptor system in pain and analgesia. We have shown that peripheral
and central 5-HT3 receptors differentially mediate components of the nociceptive response produced by
inflammation. Of current interest is the development of a theoretical model of pain based upon non-
linear, dynamical complex systems’ effects and neural mechanisms and substrates of this system
relevant to clinical practice.
4.Development, implementation and application of integrative medical approaches aimed at elucidating
outcomes and mechanisms relevant to the public health model. Particular emphasis is placed upon
utilizing quantitative and qualitative methods to study systems that may be engaged through specific
integrative medical interventions to evoke physiologic processes with potential therapeutic benefit(s).
