Research Interests

Dr. Chung has been a life long basic biomedical science researcher, focusing on the mechanisms of chronic pain, especially neuropathic pain. The most notable contribution to the field of pain is his rodent model of chronic pain referred to as the "spinal nerve ligation (SNL)" model, nicknamed the "Chung Model." The model is used worldwide in the testing and development of new analgesic drugs for managing human chronic pain. Currently his research focus is on the synaptic plasticity of pain transmission pathways, involvement of reactive oxygen species in chronic pain and development of various pain treatment strategies. Dr. Chung has published more than 150 papers in peer reviewed journals, and these papers have been cited more than 19,000 times in the literature. Dr. Chung's research has been supported by NIH research awards for over 30 years, with multiple R01s and Program Project Grants.
