ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY Our laboratory employs a multidisciplinary approach of molecular, biochemical, in vitro electrophysiological, and behavioral techniques to evaluate mechanisms underlying pain and analgesia. We are investigating signal transduction mechanisms for mechanical, thermal and chemical stimulus-induced activation of sensory neurons and mechanisms underlying sensitization of responses to these stimuli. We also investigate neural and endocrine (stress axis) contributions to inflammation, the immune response and pain.
