Physician Scientist
Siyuan Song, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist in the Department of Neuroscience at Baylor College of Medicine. His research integrates anesthesiology, pain medicine, and systems neuroscience, with a focus on neural circuit mechanisms underlying pain, anesthesia-induced brain state modulation, and perioperative neurocognitive outcomes. Dr. Song has extensive experience spanning electrophysiology, viral circuit tracing, optogenetic and chemogenetic manipulation, animal models of acute and chronic pain, and translational neuroimmune research. He has authored multiple peer-reviewed publications across anesthesiology, neuroscience, and immunology, and serves as Guest Editor or Editorial Board Member for multiple international journals. His work emphasizes methodological rigor, reproducibility, and cross-scale integration from molecular and cellular mechanisms to circuit dynamics and patient-relevant outcomes.
