Dr. Harte is a pain neuroscientist and an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan (U-M) Medical School. Dr. Harte has dedicated the last 25 years to studying and teaching pain and brain science to improve the lives of those suffering with chronic pain. His NIH-funded research program leverages preclinical models, psychophysics, inflammatory biomarkers, patient-reported outcomes measures, wearables, and functional brain imaging to investigate mechanisms of chronic pain and analgesic treatments. Specific areas of interest include multisensory neural integration, cannabinoids, environmental influences on pain, pain affect, mechanisms of pain modulation, and analgesic drug development. He has served on several national pain research collaborations, including the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network, the Symptoms of Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction Research Network (LURN), the HEAL BACPAC and BEST initiatives, and the recently completed AURORA Study on trauma where he led the development and implementation of multi-site quantitative sensory testing (QST). Dr. Harte is a faculty affiliate of the U-M Neuroscience Graduate Program, Michigan Neuroscience Institute, Opioid Research Institute, Sensory Science Initiative, and Michigan Psychedelic Center (M-PsyC). He is Director of the Postdoctoral T32 in Translational Science at the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) and Co-Director/Co-PI of the HEAL National K12 Clinical Pain Career Development Program. Additionally, he is involved in developing novel medical and research devices and eHealth delivery applications and co-founded Arbor Medical Innovations, LLC, where he serves as Chief Scientific Officer. His work has led to several patents related to pain measurement and wearable technology.
