He then pursued postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Salter at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. There he expanded his area of expertise into the cellular and molecular study of chronic pain. Dr. Trang is an assistant professor at the University of Calgary in the Faculties of Veterinary Medicine and Medicine, and he is a full member of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute. His research program investigates the critical molecules and processes involved in pain and how these processes can go awry to produce chronic pain. A focus of his research is on use of opioid drugs in treating chronic pain conditions.
