Research/Academic Interests
Dr. Gorin is a board-certified neurologist, who recently retired as chairperson of the Department of Neurology, School of Medicine and currently is professor emeritus recalled without salary (WOS) in the Departments of Neurology and Molecular Biosciences, Veterinary School at UC Davis. Over the past decade, he requested the Neurology department to focus upon diagnostically challenging individuals, many having systemic inflammatory/immune disorders with neurological symptoms analogous to “long Covid”. These patients have stimulated his research interest focusing on communication between the peripheral inflammatory system and neuroinflammation.
