Quinn H. Hogan

Quinn H. Hogan, MD is a Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW). His work bridges clinical practice and research, focusing on pain mechanisms and novel therapies. Dr. Hogan completed his BS at Stanford University, MD at Harvard Medical School, and residency/fellowship at MCW.

Research Focus: Investigates disrupted sensory neuron function post-injury using advanced techniques like patch-clamp electrophysiology, single-unit recordings, and microfluorometry. Key areas include translating mechanistic discoveries into therapies via molecular manipulations, stem cell therapy, and electrical stimulation. Emphasizes valid behavioral testing to align animal models with human pain conditions.

Publications Trends: Recent work highlights RNA interference applications (e.g., Piezo1 channel targeting), AAV-mediated gene therapy for pain, and endocannabinoid system modulation. Studies also address Fabry disease's neurobiological impacts and osteoarthritis pain mechanisms. Collaborative projects explore spinal cord stimulation neuroimaging and dorsal root ganglion therapies.

Laboratory: The Hogan Lab combines physiological and molecular approaches to decode pain pathways. Current efforts prioritize translational research bridging basic science and clinical pain management, with a focus on sensory neuron-specific therapies.
