Kenneth Weber, DC, PhD

Assistant Professor (Research) of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (Adult Pain)

Bio

Dr. Weber's research seeks to develop markers of pain and sensorimotor function using machine-learning and advanced brain, spinal cord, and musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging. Dr. Weber aims to use these techniques to better understand the neuropathology of pain and neurological conditions and discover more effective treatments and preventative strategies.
