Gregory Chinn, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor
Anesthesia
School of Medicine
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.
