Bioelectricity
My research colleagues and I focus on electrical stimulation for therapeutic purposes.
We have developed “medium voltage therapy” which refers to the use of voltages between those of pacemakers and defibrillators. Our defibrillation research focuses on more efficient waveforms and also on lower pain and lower damage waveforms. Also working on electrical therapies for both cancerous and benign tumors.
"Papers and patents are an obvious way of contributing to biomedical science. However, I get my greatest satisfaction when the science helps a fellow human being. Hence, I spend a lot of my time sharing the science with practicing physicians so that it eventually gets to the patient. Papers, patents, and patients are the 3 legs of the stool!"
