Sinyoung Kang, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor
Research Interests
Drs. Kang, Brennan and colleagues are studying the mechanisms of functional impairment, including pain and motor dysfunction, after major surgery using rodent models. Better understanding these mechanisms will allow us to develop new perioperative strategies that can facilitate the recovery of activity for many postoperative patients.
