Martyn Goulding is professor in the Molecular Neurobiology Laboratory and the Frederick W. and Joanna J. Mitchell Chair. He is a neuroscientist who studies the sensorimotor circuitry in the spinal cord that control a range of different motor behaviors from scratching to walking and precise forelimb movements. He is also interested in how these spinal circuits are altered by spinal injury or by pathologies that lead to chronic pain and itch.
