His research is focused on understanding the relationships between spinal cord injuries and neuropathic pain, and he is currently developing advanced neuroimaging and quantitative sensory testing techniques to better understand how changes in the central nervous system relate to the development of neuropathic pain.
As interim Director, ICORD, Dr. Kramer will facilitate and support the research of investigators and scientists in the Centre and oversee administrative activities. He will also foster interactions with collaborating institutions and stimulate international partnerships, while ensuring ICORD activities help advance the goals of the Faculty of Medicine and Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute’s strategic plans.
