Biography
Dr. Arkady Khoutorsky is an Associate Professor in the Department of Anesthesia at McGill University, with a secondary appointment in the Faculty of Dental Medicine and Oral Health Sciences. His research focuses on the mechanisms of chronic pain, with particular emphasis on neuroimmune interactions, sensory neuron plasticity, spinal cord circuits, translational control, meningeal lymphatics, and the gut microbiome. His laboratory uses multidisciplinary approaches, including animal models, molecular biology, imaging, single-cell and spatial transcriptomics, and human cohort analyses, to identify mechanisms that drive pain hypersensitivity and persistence. Dr. Khoutorsky is actively involved in collaborative pain research and in the training of graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and other trainees in pain neuroscience.
