My research interests have always been in the Neurosciences, particularly in the physiology of somatic sensory systems in the periphery and the spinal cord. My work has focussed on the neurophysiology of pain and nociceptive systems with a special interest in the mechanisms of hyperalgesia and on pain of visceral origin. The main objective of the research during the last few years has been the study of the neurobiological mechanisms of pain and analgesia based on investigations ranging from human psychophysics, to cellular and molecular analysis in experimental animals.
