School of Pharmacy- Laboratory Introduction

Laboratory of Anatomy

Biological Sciences

We focus on the following research topics: 1) The study of the mechanisms of neuronal plasticity in pain-related neuronal system what is called "The pain matrix". 2) The study of the underlying mechanisms of crosstalk between pain signals and the autonomic nervous system. To explore these mechanisms from the molecular to the physiological level, we employ a variety of methods, including immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, physiological techniques, and behavioral pharmacology.
