Marcelo Febo, Ph.D.

Marcelo Febo, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor, and Director of Translational Research Imaging in the Departments of Psychiatry, and Neuroscience, at the University of Florida College of Medicine, as well as a researcher at the UF McKnight Brain Institute.  Marcello is considered one of the world’s experts in the field of preclinical neuroimaging, and as such, is a key collaborator on the “Mapping Towards a Cure – Identification of Neurophysiologic Signatures of Trigeminal Neuralgia Pain” project. He and his laboratory have provided a critical role in imaging animals under different trigeminal nerve pain conditions. This link between animal and human imaging results will hopefully provide a pathway to study future therapeutics that may be useful for blocking trigeminal neuralgia pain.
