Dr. Kuan-Po Peng is a neurologist and clinician-scientist in the Department of Systems Neuroscience at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf.
His research programme investigates the central mechanisms underlying sensory modulation and headache generation in migraine, employing advanced functional neuroimaging techniques to characterise the neural processes that give rise to migraine attacks.
A second principal line of inquiry seeks to elucidate the mechanisms underlying treatment efficacy, integrating quantitative psychophysical assessment with functional imaging to understand how preventive therapies exert their effects and why individual patients differ in their response.
