Carl Saab

Dr. Carl Saab is contributing to transformative work in the fields of neurosurgery and neuroscience as a Professor at Brown University and Rhode Island Hospital. With a distinguished academic journey, Dr. Saab earned his PhD in 2001 from the University of Texas Medical Branch, where he delved into the intricate pain pathways within the central nervous system. His postdoctoral fellowship at Yale University further honed his expertise, focusing on sodium channelopathies related to pain and multiple sclerosis. Since joining Brown University, Dr. Saab has been at the forefront of research exploring the brain mechanisms of pain in both animals and humans. His work is characterized by a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses electrophysiology, glia, neuroimmunology, and neuroinflammation. Dr. Saab's research is particularly noted for its innovative exploration of neuromodulation and neurotechnology, aiming to develop novel therapeutic strategies for pain management. Dr. Saab's contributions extend beyond the laboratory, as he actively collaborates with clinicians and researchers to translate his findings into practical applications. His work not only advances our understanding of pain mechanisms but also paves the way for new interventions that could significantly improve patient outcomes. Through his dedication and pioneering research, Dr. Saab continues to make significant strides in the field of neuroscience, impacting both academic circles and clinical practices.
