The Klein Lab

The Klein lab is located in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo.  The current focus of Dr. Klein's research revolves around the neural mechanisms of pain and the use of opiates and their downstream pathways to alleviate chronic pain, reduce tolerance, and decrease withdrawal symptoms. 

We are a team of interdisciplinary scientists interested in neurobiology, pathophysiology, and translational approaches to address the challenges of novel non-opioid based analgesics and the opioid epidemic.
