Dr. Christopher Robinson, MD, PhD is a resident physician-scientist at Harvard Medical School-BIDMC and will be doing his chronic pain fellowship at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Robinson did his MD, PhD in stem cell biology in the lab of Dr. Shuibing Chen at the Weill Cornell Medicine/Rockefeller University/Sloan-Kettering Tri-Institutional MD-PhD Program. His team leadership experience from running a startup during his PhD allowed him and his PhD team including the 2020 Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Charles Rice, to discover a new anti-viral drug targeting Zika virus during the epidemic. Prior to his MD/PhD, he completed his undergraduate studies at Georgetown University in Washington DC.

Now, his chronic pain research team, consisting of members across the globe, work together to accomplish science and medicine in a whole different way utilizing everyone's skillsets across all specialties from machine learners (artificial intelligence developers) to physician-scientists to ethicists to bring education and research to all while keeping the patient at the center. He is redefining the meaning of the co-authorship and equality, and he understands that education and opportunity are key and should not be limited by your background or resources.
