Dr. Seal is a tenure-track assistant professor in the Departments of Neurobiology and Otolaryngology and the Pittsburgh Center for Pain Research. Her research examines neurotransmitter transporters and their involvement in hearing, vision, motor function, and pain processing. As a postdoctoral scholar at UCSF, she discovered an important role for a specific neurotransmitter transporter in mechanical allodynia. Her laboratory currently investigates neural circuits underlying chronic pain to develop new therapeutic approaches. She has received numerous prestigious awards including recognitions from the Brain and Behavior Research Foundation, Rita Allen Foundation, Hearing Health Foundation, American Diabetes Association, and American Pain Society.
