    Collapse Overview
    Gregory Chinn is a board certified anesthesiologist and research scientist who practices anesthesia at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital. His research focus is on developmental neurotoxicity and is currently trying to understand the effects perinatal cannabinoid exposure on brain development. Using a combination of techniques including animal behavior, genomics, and neuronal ultrastructure analysis, he hopes to define critical windows of sensitivity to these drugs to provide safety information around their use and to also understand how the endogenous cannabinoid system regulates neurodevelopment.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
