No biological system in the body exists in isolation, but systems are often studied separately for convenience or pedagogic purpose. The nervous and the immune systems interact extensively and continuously. In this rapidly developing field of neuro-immunology, we study mechanisms and functional implications of signaling between neurons and glia or leukocytes in peripheral and central components of the nervous system (an arbitrary division), with chronic pain as major clinical focus.

Carl Saab is an active neuroscience researcher. He graduated in 1997 from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in Lebanon with an M.S. in neuroscience. At AUB, he learned the principles of pain research, devoting his time to working closely with Dr. Nayef Saadé at the department of human morphology. He then traveled to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston to pursue graduate studies in the field of pain research under the guidance of Dr. William Willis. Carl obtained his Ph.D. in 2001; his decision to join the department of neurology at Yale University as a postdoctoral fellow in 2001 allowed for his collaboration with Dr. Stephen Waxman, studying basic mechanisms of neuronal degeneration and pain. Currently Carl is Assistant Professor-Research at Rhode Island Hospital Department of Surgery and Brown University Department of Neuroscience.
