Dr. Surachai Supattapone and his team investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms that give rise
to the perplexing group of neurodegenerative disorders known as prion diseases."In other labs I've worked in, I've never felt so comfortable asking questions and having other people ask me questions."
"For a long time, I think, both nationally and
internationally, we have been at the forefront of
translational research around back pain and spine
surgery. And now we're doing the largest trial
in the country—eleven states—looking at operative
versus nonoperative treatment.We've received over
$30 million in federal funding. I think the impact
here is huge."—Dr. James Weinstein, Director of
The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy and
Clinical Practice and Professor and Chair,
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery"What we have at Dartmouth is high specific gravity. It's a relatively small institution, but within each department each person has a lot to offer. They carry as much weight as a faculty three times this size."
—Surachai Supattapone, M.D., Ph.D., D.Phil., Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Medicine
