University (SNAPL) is actively recruiting a Clinical Research

Professor Sean Mackey, our goal is to discover and validate
objective biomarkers of chronic pain. Ours is a multidisciplinary
project spanning multiple departments to collect functional MRI
measures, biomarkers from blood and microbiome, sensory testing,
wearables, and patient surveys. We will be using state-of-the-art
machine learning approaches to build biomarker signatures that will
ultimately be used to help optimize the care of those living with
chronic pain - a condition impacting 100 million Americans.

top neuroscientists, psychologists, geneticists, sleep experts,
machine learning experts, and pain specialists at Stanford.
