Dr. Shirvalkar is a neurologist and pain physician who treats the whole spectrum of chronic pain syndromes and leads the Pain Neuromodulation Laboratory at the University of California San Francisco. He earned his doctoral and medical degrees at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and completed a neurology residency at Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, where he served as chief resident. He completed a clinical fellowship and postdoctoral training at UCSF, where he was hired as faculty at the UCSF Weill Institute of Neurosciences. His lab aims to study how the subjective experience of chronic pain is processed in the human brain towards developing novel brain and spine stimulation technology to improve pain and quality of life.
