The role of ion channels in pain pathways [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Irina Vetter (Principal investigator)

Brief description Pain is one of the most frequent and costly health problems faced by Australia. Currently available pain killers often do not work, or have intolerable side effects. We thus need better approaches to treat pain. This project will define the role of specific sodium channel subtypes in pain pathways with the aim to develop novel treatment approaches and pain killers.
