Research interests
Acute pain warns us of danger allowing us to initiate protective behaviours and is thus beneficial. However, chronic and sustained pain is debilitating and harmful to health. It has become one of the most common medical conditions associated with many diseases such as arthritis, cancer and diabetes. We aim to understand how pain signals are generated and then transmitted to the brain, and how it is maintained for a long period with a view to devising novel therapies for a better treatment of chronic pain.
