Michael S. Gold, Ph.D., is a Professor of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Gold received his B.A. from UC Berkeley, Ph.D. from UCLA, and completed postdoctoral fellowships at USCF and UCLA. The focus of Dr. Gold’s research is the neurobiology of pain. He has made important contributions to injury-induced plasticity in nociceptive afferents, and their contribution to the manifestation of persistent pain. Toward this end, he has employed an array of approaches ranging from the study of isolated cells to the development of novel preclinical behavioral assays with which to assess the presence of persistent hypersensitivity, and more recently the study of clinical populations suffering from persistent pain. Ongoing studies are designed to address mechanisms of migraine, trigeminal neuralgia, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel syndrome, and more recently, mechanisms underlying the therapeutic efficacy of DRG and spinal cord stimulation.
