Always good to step away from the bench and catch up with brilliant colleagues over food, drinks, and fun! #AcademicLife #SLU #PainResearch

We had a great day celebrating Lyuba’s PhD defense — lots of smiles, autoantibodies, action potentials, DRG neurons and pain Research. Couldn’t be prouder. On to the next chapter! #PhDone #PainResearch #SLU

So proud of Lyuba Salih as she defends her PhD at SLU! Watching her grow, tackle tough questions, and become the scientist she is today has been one of the best parts of my job. #PainResearch

Co-organized by Daniela Salvemini,PhD, Robert Gereau IV, PhD, and Amynah Pradhan, PhD.
We also bring an awesome line up of speakers from the midwest, covering everything from molecular mechanisms to patient-centered pain management.
Here’s a sneak peek at who’s coming… 👇

#PainResearch #Neuroskyience

Very very proud of Nico Dumaire @nicodumaire.bsky.social for sharing the best graduate student poster award at our department retreat today! 🏆 Your hard work and dedication to #PainResearch is inspiring. Keep up the amazing work! 👏 #Neuroscience

Beautiful campus at Saint Louis University

Couldn't resist taking a picture from the old lab. Best view on campus.

#FluorescenceFriday 🔬 Excited to share this RNAscope staining of TRPV1 and KCNS1 in human DRG, with DAPI marking nuclei. Human DRG are an incredible resource for understanding pain mechanisms—and we’re lucky to have access to this amazing ressource! 🧠✨ #PainResearch #Neuroscience

Meet the Moutal Lab! We’re a passionate group tackling chronic pain using a range techniques like CRISPR, protein biochemistry, calcium imaging, electrophysiology and behavior. We’re also big believers in collaboration and mentorship. 🧪✨ #ScienceTeamwork

In my lab, we reverse-translate rare clinical syndromes to uncover therapeutic targets for chronic pain. We dive into everything from autoimmune diseases to ion channel trafficking and neuroendocrine mechanisms driving pain sensitization. Curious? Let’s chat science! 🧠🔬 #NeuroscienceOfPain

Hello ! 👋 I’m an assistant professor at Saint Louis University. My lab studies autoimmune mechanisms driving the transition from protective pain to chronic pain. Excited to connect with this vibrant science community! 🌟 #ChronicPainResearch #Neuroscience
