Dr. Ken Weber and Dr. Dean Smith discuss his research
pursuits which involve: 1) developing imaging modalities that are more
sensitive and specific to the pathology, providing more diagnostic,
prognostic, and predictive information; 2) providing more quantitative
information to the clinician; and 3) using these measures to better
understand the nervous system and how it functions, the neurophysiology
of pain, how treatments work, and why certain treatments work for some
patients but not for others. Dr. Ken Weber is an
Instructor in the Department of Anesthesia, Perioperative and Pain
Medicine at Stanford University. He obtained his Doctor of Chiropractic
from Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida in 2009 and then completed a
PhD in neuroscience at Northwestern University in 2016, specializing in
movement and rehabilitation science. Ken’s research intersects clinical
pain research and advanced MRI techniques with an emphasis on brain,
spinal cord, and musculoskeletal imaging. His research aims to better
understand the neural and musculoskeletal changes underlying clinical
pain conditions, the mechanisms of treatments, and predictors for
recovery. Ken is currently supported by a K23 Mentored Patient-Oriented
Research Career Development Award from the National Institute of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the National Institutes of Health.
His previous funding has included the National Center for Complementary
and Integrative Health, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the
NCMIC Foundation, Inc.
Dr. Ken Weber was recently selected to be part of the CARL (Chiropractic Academy for Research Leadership) program.
