I am a pain researcher and electrophysiologist. In 2022 I was awarded the Prof Anthony Mellows Medal & Fellowship. Using a combination of in vivo electrophysiology, optogenetics/chemogenetics and behaviour, I aim to identify neural circuits that govern pain modulation and negative affect particularly in relation to multimorbidities in chronic pain states.
