Mission Statement

 

Research at the Division of Pharmacology and Toxicology is driven by the motivation to decipher the dynamic mechanisms underlying aging and disease, such as chronic pain. To this end, we combine a diverse set of methods ranging from molecular biology and biochemistry,  electrophysiology,  primary cell culture and preclinical mouse models to molecular modelling and quantitative proteomics. Our goal is to identify novel therapeutic targets that have the potential to improve current treatments of studied diseases.
