Scientific Focus

Current Research Interests

The human pain research laboratory was launched in 1995 as a translational research unit assisting the transfer of knowledge between basic and clinical sciences. Engaged in a bidirectional approach the lab is well positioned to examine how findings in the basic sciences apply to human biology, and to explore the validity and mechanistic implications of intriguing clinical observations under well controlled, “bench-like” conditions.

Our laboratory is active in three major and inter-related areas: the identification of pain biomarkers and potential analgesic targets, the early validation or rejection of novel analgesic interventions, and the pharmacogenomics and proteomics of opioid-analgesics. Pertinent questions are addressed with aid of experimental and clinical pain models (e.g. calibrated sunburns or surgical wounds), pharmacological tools (e.g. computer-controlled infusion algorithms), proteomic and genomic approaches (e.g. micro-catheter based techniques for tissue-specific sampling and analysis of cytokine and chemokine profiles), and imaging techniques (e.g. laser doppler imaging). The overarching goal of our research is to move towards a mechanism-based and individualized diagnosis and therapy of pain.
