About me
Dr. Maggie Waung is a neurologist who specializes in caring for patients with headache and other chronic pain disorders.
Waung has been a Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Endowed Professor since 2021. To understand how patients develop persistent, recurring and debilitating headaches, Waung studies pain processing in the brain. Her research uses optogenetics, a cutting-edge method of manipulating light-sensitive proteins to reveal nerve cell function. In addition to illuminating the causes of migraines, the goal is to develop better, targeted therapies.
Waung earned her medical degree and a doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. She completed a residency in neurology at UCSF.
