Neuroscience of pain

Chronic pain is the invisible crisis of our time, affecting 1 in 5 people worldwide. The societal cost of chronic pain is already higher than heart disease and cancer combined and is expected to rise unsustainably. Despite the enormity of the problem, we understand little about the mechanisms that underlie pain perception. Without mechanistic insight, treatments are often limited to targeting symptoms rather than the underlying mechanisms.

My research contributes to understand the human brain mechanisms that make us feel pain, aiming to improve the management and treatment of pain. Read more about my research here.

I am based at Computational and Biological Learning, Department of Engineering, University of Cambridge. I am also a bye-fellow at Murray Edwards College.
