Biography

Wen Sheng obtained a PhD degree from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Virginia and received post-doctoral training at the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation. Dr. Sheng currently is involved in a program to investigate immune mechanisms that drive chronic retroviral infection-induced neuropathic pain in a model of distal symmetrical polyneuropathy (DSP) developed in animals with murine acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (MAIDS) and the effects of inflammatory modulation through cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) in the context of peripheral neuropathy due to chronic retroviral infection.
