My team and I study why pain can become chronic. We like the peripheral nervous system, neuroimmunology, stromal cells and sequencing. If you have similar interests - please say hi!

I still like the classics: see this Ramon y Cajal painting of what a neuron in the cerebellum looked like in a human brain. So actually my dish-grown sensory neuron is pretty puny by comparison 😝. Although sensory neurons are much less intricate even in vivo.

co-supervised by Greg Weir & myself. Apply now and make pretty stem-cell derived sensory neurons, like these - grown by my wonderful team! @academic-chatter.bsky.social #AcademicSky

#FluorescenceFriday! Congrats to one of our very talented PhD students, Irene, who just stained her first stem-cell derived blood vessel organoid 🧪🧠🥳 #pericytes #neuroimmune #neuroskyence #PainResearch
