Temugin Berta

Temugin Berta, PhD is a Professor at the University of Cincinnati in the Medical Sciences Building. With postdoctoral training at Harvard University (2009) and Duke University (2012), his research focuses on neuropathic pain mechanisms, glial-neuronal interactions, and TRP channel signaling. He has led multiple NINDS R01 and R21 grants totaling over $3 million, including projects on STING-mediated pain, NR4A1 in pain resolution, and glial signaling pathways.

Research Interests: His work spans from basic pain neurobiology to translational therapeutics, with key contributions in microglial signaling, satellite glial cell function, and non-opioid analgesics. Recent studies explore sex-dependent pain mechanisms and neuro-immune interactions in conditions like diabetes and psoriasis.

Article Trends: His publications emphasize TRPV1/4 modulation, microglial activation, glial-neuronal crosstalk, and lipid mediators in pain. Subfields include metaloproteinase signaling, endozepine regulation, and single-cell ganglion analysis.
