Clinical & Research Interests
Fredric Gorin lectures on the peripheral nervous system, particularly with respect to diagnosing neuropathies, treating neuropathic cellular mechanisms of drug actions, drug development, and brain cancers. He has authored more than 50 publications on neurology disorders and dysautonomiast. Dr. Gorin's patented drug agents at UCD that prevent or slow the recurrent of highly agressive brain novel agents and advance a lead compund for clinical evaluation.
