Bishop Lab (Center for Pain Rehabilitation Research)
Led by Mark D Bishop · Physical Therapy
What we study
Bishop studies how pain is perceived and how rehabilitation can relieve it, as part of the Center for Pain Rehabilitation Research: laboratory pain tests in healthy volunteers, clinical trials with patients, and analyses of large patient datasets.
