Dr. Waxman trained with J.Z. Young and Patrick Wall at University College London. He founded Yale\u2019s Neuroscience & Regeneration Research Center and has been its director since 1988.  Prior to Yale, he held faculty positions at Harvard, MIT, and Stanford.  Dr. Waxman has been a pioneer in unraveling the roles of sodium channels in pain signaling, as his early papers defined the ion channel architecture of nerve fibers, and demonstrated its importance for axonal conduction. Ultimately, his work has led to the development of new therapies that restore function after nervous system injury. He is now pinpointing \u201cpain resilience\u201d genes, and new non-addictive pain medications, based largely on his work, are in or headed toward clinical trials, and the first has achieved FDA approval. He has served on multiple editorial boards, led an international team that identified ion channel mutations as causes of pain in peripheral neuropathy, received multiple honors, and trained many lead researchers throughout the world.   The PRF Spotlight Episode 2 was produce and moderated by Drs. Isaac Gomes-Aragao DDS, MSC, PhD and Beatriz Lima Adjafre, PhD  Music by Kevin Seal of Seal Party ","author_name":"IASP Pain Research Forum Podcasts","author_url":"http:\/\/prfpodcast.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
