I’m a researcher with a background in neuroscience, and I’m especially interested in understanding nerve problems, particularly a condition called small fiber neuropathy, which affects tiny nerves in the skin and cause various painful symptoms for patients. In my work, I study what might cause those conditions in different diseases by working on both lab-based and patient-related projects. The overall goal for my study is to identify novel treatment targets for neuropathic pain. I have plenty work experiences in lab techniques, including immunohistology, advanced microscopy, molecular experiments, stereological quantifications and behaviour studies.
My primary area of responsibility is, with the benefit of my collaborations, to initiate and conduct research projects in studying peripheral neuropathy and neuropathic pain. Meanwhile, I also help guide and support bachelor’s, master’s, and medical students in their studies and research.
