Scientific Focus
Current Research Interests
Non-contact, non-invasive diode laser-based protocols for stimulation of singular modality sensations include: warmth, heat, touch, pin prick, itching, tickling, and nerve cells (USA patent #7,402,167 B2, 2008)
Experimental research of the involvement of transient receptor potential (TRP) proteins in pain, using in vivo and in vitro optical stimulation of TRPV1/TRPV2 heat gated ion channels and C & A fibers.
An investigation of the nature of painless laser treatment and laser-evoked pain relief based on selective stimulation of nociceptors in maxillofacial area.
