In an approach from bed to bench and back, the TRiP (Translational Research in Pain) group aims to identify complex sensory mechanisms in humans and rodents to develop new therapeutic strategies for pain treatment. Functional imaging, microscopy and electrophysiology are the main techniques being used besides molecular biology. The highly-motivated thriving international team is well connected in neuroscience and clinics and is looking for a fellow who is intrested in elucidating the mechanism how intranasally applied lidocaine ameliorates headache. The project is part of the SFB1158 granted by the DFG.
