Jonathan Pan

Jonathan Pan, PhD, MD is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesia at the University of California, San Francisco, based at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. His clinical research focuses on trauma, with specialized expertise in spinal cord injury mechanisms and neurocritical care management. Dr. Pan leads the Pan Lab and is affiliated with the Center for Cerebrovascular Research.

Education:

• MD in Medicine from Fudan University Medical Center
• PhD in Neuroscience from Rutgers University
• NIH T32 Fellow in Anesthesia and Neurotrauma at University of California
• Residency in Anesthesiology and Critical Care at University of Pennsylvania

Research Focus: Dr. Pan's research program centers on traumatic spinal cord injuries, with particular emphasis on neuroprotective strategies, hemodynamic optimization, machine learning applications in trauma outcomes, and molecular biomarkers of neurological recovery. His work integrates translational approaches bridging neuroscience, anesthesiology, and critical care medicine to improve trauma patient outcomes.

Research Publications: Dr. Pan's recent publications demonstrate a strong methodological focus on machine learning applications in spinal cord injury prognosis, hemodynamic management protocols, neuroprotective pharmacologic interventions, and advanced neuroimaging biomarkers. His work consistently addresses translational gaps between experimental models and clinical trauma care.

Awards and Honors:

• NIH T32 Research Fellowship in Anesthesia and Neurotrauma

Laboratory and Team Leadership: Dr. Pan directs the Pan Lab at UCSF, which focuses on molecular mechanisms of neurotrauma and therapeutic interventions. He collaborates extensively through the TRACK-SCI multi-center research consortium and leads projects at the Center for Cerebrovascular Research.
